The bench beckons...

[Stolly]

One week left. Nothing lined up. First time on bench in 18 months of contracting.

So i'll get the garden sorted and spend some time with the kids. To be honest 2 weeks with no work to worry about doesn't sound too bad. Hopefully things will pick up in September.

Yes, things do seem to be pointing that way. I've been on a really crap rate for over 1 year now but I'm going to get my CV circulating again 'cos I think things may start to happen in September.

I've now had nearly 3 months out (first time in 20 YEARS as a contractor) with not a sniff of any butty. I hope you are right about things picking up in september.

September time would work for me...

Current gig finishes early Sept with no certainty of an extension as I suspect the client will use cheaper resource to finish the implementation of the solution I've designed.

Failing that, I won't be too upset with a few weeks off and some half decent weather to sort out the garden!
