Woo hooooo

There is a lot to be said for bench time.
Just got te company books bang up to date.
I have done loads of work on the house.
I had the day after my birthday off so had a great time Wednesday night.

Glad to hear you are having a better time than me. Been ill the last few days with the headache from hell, eating cardboard toast (which was all I could manage)....

It's great isn't it? The first couple of months just fly by. Around month 3 you get a bit bored and start trying to get another contract, but that stage is over by month 4, by which time you could carry on for ever. In my opinion.

[Gonzo]

Absolutely.

I am virtually benched. I will probably do 4 or 5 days next month.

The project I have been working on will need me for 20 days in February.

In between, I can sit with my feet up.


Back in my permie days, the thought of going two months without getting paid would have scared the tulip out of me.

Now, I have to expect to be out of work from time to time so I can enjoy it when it happens.

But ask me again in June, because if I haven't sorted out new work by then I will have to start living like a church mouse.
