        I have 1 month till contract end , do nothing to please noone , asked for 10 percent increase or else I threatened to leave . I am not scared of staying 3 months out of work since I could do some biz planning .. but then I ain't got wife or mortgage.

          I have 25 weeks left now - wish it was 25 days so I can get a decent job....

            50 working days left, 72 including weekends and Bank Holidays.

            I'm still wondering if the client being taken over will affect the likelihood of an extension... it would have been a dead cert under the current management, but who knows what the new owners' strategy will be

              I can canned 2 days after being told they wanted an extension.

              I now feel like I've done the whole Contractor thing:
              1. Jumped shipped with no job offer
              2. Sat on the bench staring at a depeleting bank account
              3. Met some 'lovely' agents
              4. Had a few interviews
              5. Got a job
              6. Got an extension offer
              7. Neg'd a rate increase
              8. Got cut


              Whooo
              See that guy over there, working 24/6, that permie?
              That's you that is

                254 days left.
                I plan on this being my last contract.
                Plan B should be able to carry a decent salary by then.

                  It must have taken you quite a while to add all of those days up.
