            C. I have a plan B that could turn out good if I could get a good run at it.
            D. I only want to work 6 months a year now and see the the aussies stuff the english in the Ashes this year.

              Not really worried though, as I'm not due for renewal for another few months and we'll all be living in tents stealing food from the UN in the next couple of months...

                looks like the dreaded 10% cut will be on the cards here too at renewal time. haven't made up my mind what to do yet - i like the work and they pay early, but it's clearly just an opportunistic cash-grab on the part of clientco.

                    And you might find a 10% rate cut still puts you ahead of the current market ...
