Budge up, coming to a bench near you soon

[MarillionFan]

Very rarely have I done this in 25 years contracting, but I have invoked my months notice period on my contract.

It was still to run to the end of August (which would have been 20 months) but it is debatable whether I would have got another. The guy who I working with has been put on garden leave & one of the big four have been drafted in. The early scouts have started arriving, and now I report to a big four consultant who is working out who they can replace with their own resources at 3 to 4x the same rate.

Warchest is super healthy, the summer is coming and the goose is getting fat.

I'm going on holiday for a few months.

It happens to us all on occasion.

I came very close to doing that once, but "someone" got me fired before I had the chance.

Enjoy the summer

FFS, are you still going on about that? Look it was either me or you, and I got to HR first.

Are you soon to be propping up the bar at "The Station"?

You'll be needing this...

The Station(Fleet) - Food menu!

Good for you. That's what contracting is meant to be about. Many contractors (incl. me) rarely get to enjoy the fruits of our labours.

Funny thing though: although your warchest is in good nick, it's amazing the psychological affect of having no income. Your bank balance steps down a few grand every month and after years of accumulating you're now spending. It only takes a couple of months and you start to have concerns, even when there is no need.

It's the bench I fell sorry for...
