    You only get 15 options and that was option number 843.

        Another day closer to death
        Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

        Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

          My friend died three weeks ago from breast cancer after never having one retirement day at the grand old age of 48. Don't knock it !!

            So does that mean you're just a grumpy old pensioner and not a contractor at all? Reading the Daily Wail and moaning on here because they've thrown you out of the Library and the Bingo isn't open yet?

                I've never been grumpy in my life as I enjoy life too much for that. I would contract again if the circumstances were right, but I am just not going to spend my valuable time every day looking for jobs that simply do not exist, or competing for work paying a pittance. I will bide my time until the market picks up.

                  You forgot the retired option. I have already consulted my solicitor about this further outrageous example of age discrimination.

                  One should force oneself to feel guilty about not working on a Monday. Enjoying time off is just not British.

                      10 points for the comprehensive options, though I'll have to deduct 2 for the slightly random Andyw one, letter from his Mum?

                      I'm with the Lone Gunman, after 2 years of contracting and suffering rate drops in the recession I'm pretty much decided I should be chasing a £75,000ish permie Head of IT/Director position and not worry about accountants/invoicing/alienation etc.

                      In a way I'd be happy to go back to the days of reading Computer Weekly on the bog and having a relatively stress free existence surfing the T'Internet, even at the cost of being drawn back into company bulltulip with politics etc. ...
