    Boomed !

    I've got myself a new contract, 14 months on good money, picking up some good skills but it's 200 miles from home

    I held out for local work for 3 or 4 months but cracked in the end. Time to grit my teeth and get on with it.

    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

      Working away can be a pain but at least you're off the bench.

      Congrats.

        You gotta do what you've gotta do.

        Well done.

          The warchest is healthy so I don't really 'gotta do', which makes it a bit tougher. I'll see how it goes, picking up some new stuff is what swung it.

            Congrats, a contract is a contract.

            Where are you going to be working? If its in London, get yourself out for a beer and meet some like minded greedy money grabbing pissheads, I mean, contractors.

              Zone 6, the end of the line ! So I may well make it to a gathering. 5 years+ since I stepped foot in London.
