        Ricardo,

        when I was on the bench in 2002 for 2.5 months, I did a lot of what Chris said, excellent post Chris by the way, had a routine, searched for jobs once a day and did other things during the day, which included...

        I stayed away from here, in the best of times, I am a doom monger, if this lot had known I was on the bench they would have had me doomed out, so I went absent from CUK

        secondly I built a website, not my main skills but just to keep busy


        All the best,

        Milan.

                I'm just relieved to hear you're wearing a dressing gown and not sat there starkers!

                I really do sympathise, i didn’t handle my 5ish months on the bench very well either - but I got a new contract - and so shall you
                I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this
