Last day of being a contractor....

[bobhope]

Well, I am on a project with a company called Jupiter....

Centrica ?

Don't worry Wilmslow.

Mercury will fall out of it's orbit and this will impact both the orbit and rotation of Earth, causing the planet to break up in an extremely violent and horrifying end to our world. Fortunately the good would have been spared this end by dying one day earlier. The faltering orbit of Mercury is already being monitored by scientists but there is nothing that can be done to halt it.

It came to me in a dream.

I was forced to go perm 'for a while' 18 months ago. I still am perm. It used to be a dirty word, now it is the norm.

However, 2 factors are preventing me from going back - one is that the company is not a corporate setup like yours and is quite laid back and even 'fun' at times. The other is 4 week notice - a killer for getting out.

Still, I consider myself a contractor at heart and hope to be back soon!

My company has a 3 month notice period!!!

No, the training never materialised, surprisingly

But that is part of the reason I'm still here also: still stuck with last century's technology on the cv. Ok I've studied plenty of .Net to get to the blagging point, now I need to get round to jacking in perm job for the return to contracting.

Still trying to see if it is worth it though, currently local contracts seem to be offering £25 to £30 an hour - less than I was on when I moved to perm.

No mortgage either, which perversly means I feel less compelled to go seeking the bucks as I don't need them. (Note: I'd still like them though).
