Any room on the bench?

[KathyWoolfe]

At ClientCo, 41 contractors (me included) have got a 15 minute meeting with the agency on-site here. Not all of them are on my project thank goodness but I was beginning to worry.........

<checks that her C.V. is up-to-date and plumps up the cushions on the sofa at home - but i've been looking for my next gig since the start of the year anyway>

It was more than 41 contractors....that was just the number on my particular session.
Anyway, ClientCo are "outsourcing" (they admitted to offshoring - and we all know where to) with no permie redundancies but with a gradual reduction in contractors. Obviously "all contracts and extensions will be honoured" etc............
Looks like I'll be retiring sooner than planned!

Don't forget Kleenex for your other, ahem, "hobby".

So is there anything good on daytime TV?

I was expecting to be benched end of March, but got an unexpected extra 4 weeks. So I can't complain too much. I'd be quite happy to sit at home and work on the Plan B for a few months, but what's really depressing me is that seems to be falling apart as well.

It's not a hobby. Hobby suggest part time activity. I am an amature status porn star.

Just focus on those "dates"

That's much more challenging.

I know, currently have no date for this Friday. Whats going on there. There must be at least one more freak in this fair Isle that I've not seen yet.

What am I going to winge about on Monday.

I am far too busy to watch TV. It is all house buying/doing up followed by antiques/bargain hunt followed by crime.
I hate voyeuristic TV with a vengeance so Kyle and co will never get my viewing.

I am far too busy doing the housework. Doing the refurbishment needed by the house. Riding my motorbike and playing with my kites and buggy on the beach. I am also developing a web site for my local pub for a few pints so any web masters advice would be appreciated.

Currentl on bench since end Oct last year but that needs some explanation as it started out voluntary and waiting for SC to come through. SC took over 4 months and job went whilst waiting.

Sorry about all the bad news.

I've just been offered a further renewal on my gig but its with a bank and is an FSA regulatory project so they can't just can it.
