work, plan b or benched?

Oct is still a long way off, Pondlife, things may be quite different by then...

I'm half way through a 3 month gig. Extension looks promising, atleast from my point of view, but no official talk of it yet.

[rootsnall]

Not sure how much more of it I can take though.

Would love to jump but am thinking better the devil you know in the current climate.

Wimp !

[Fran]

In a contract but bored, cant see why I'm here, they don't need me, it's legacy technology and I think I'm on dodgy IR35 ground.

Looking to exit! Interview on Friday and I'm very hopefull. Market looks quiet (esp for Mid Jan) but I've got 3 possibilities on the go.

Plan B will make almost £1000 this month, hoping to expand it too!

[Fran]

Saying that, if I don't start taking occasional days off to work on Plan B I think the missus will leave me!!

[Pondlife]

Wimp !

It's dealing with you .net developers that does it.

What part of read the f'ing spec don't you understand?

I'm struggling to remember the last time I had a decent spec that wasn't written by me

Oh no, don't get me wrong. They did write the bloody things. They just don't bother reading them again and build what the flip they like.

Looks bad chaps, (just added to the gloom as there is a rumour of a 50% cut in IT budget) 40% on bench or looking rocky.

Any self respecting contract .net developer wouldn't go anywhere near a spec, you must be working with cowboys !
