Nope, I'm in one although its only 3 days a week which I point out and each person at the other end does try to get me to either leave it or goes on to see if I can do the one they're offering part time. BTW all projects were mainframe based where there is no real downturn in the market nor in rates as its now becoming a niche market, oh, and none were in the UK. Only one call introduced an element of fishing and that was the one from the UK agent.Originally posted by pzz76077 View PostAny actual contracts in the offering??
