Dropping like flies!!! A sign of things to come?

Flexible on location only applies to those contractors without kids.

When you reach a certain age and kids are in effect then spending the week away is not an option. When that point arrives, if you cannot get commutable or local contract work then you need to go perm IMO.

Or move a couple of hundred miles south...

I only started contracting in December, found the funding (government) had been pulled for project, was benched for 1 day before client called me back in for a renewed 6 month contract. Now in 'til July thankfully. By the time I left the building for the bench, I had 3 interviews lined up - mostly on the basis of being flexible in respect of location - so I definitely concur with Churchill.

I have kids, and time with them features high on my list of priorities as you would imagine, but in this era of globalization etc etc, I don't see that I have much of a choice as regards travel. After all, if I don't make the effort, somebody from China or India or Korea or Vietnam or wherever will!

Tom, I've got a great new idea for a (contractors) gameshow. It's gonna be a winner.

All you need is three contractors, an agent and a bird with big tits.

It's called 'Boom or Bench'. DMAX and Dave are interested.

Cheers,

Roger Mellie.

CLG pulled funding.

We're going it alone as the end client still needs the system. In contract until the beginning of July.

Well done C, nice one

Every little helps, thanks MP.

Been here for 14 months so far.

Might have to drag CM to MonkeyWorld again sometime soon.

Thank fook for that, it may account for why I'm better looking and more intelligent than you.

But your kids look like me.
