    This contract will expire in 10 hours……..

    Got an email from an agent last night (after office hours) about a contract that closes before 9:30am this morning. Funny – Jobserve had several agencies with the same job, no mention of any such curfew. Very naively I sent my CV off without checking the other agencies. I am very out of touch with agents tricks.

    Yes, I am that hacked off with permiedoom that I am venturing back on the market. Been here for three and a half years, which is the longest I have been anywhere in recent years!

    Contracting is not any better, it just pays better and you have an end date to look forward too

      You're sticking to the North of the country I hope.
      Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

          Three and a half years on that project would drive even the sanest mad. I dread to think what it has done to you.

              Maisonette? Pah – I am part of the Cheshire Set, not some dodgy newtown estate in Swindon!

              I have a three bedroom detached dormer bungalow I will have you know. The dormer bedroom has an en-suite with fantastic views of the garden if you fancy getting down with nature, or, how about the summer house for a bit of al fresco summer action?

                Below average vanilla intercourse with a Focus owning permy, in a dormer bungalow?

                I'm sold.
