B B B Benched????

Can someone please explain to me why so many contractors don't get this stuff set in stone earlier than the last hour of the last day??

If you are in a good role, and don't want to look for anything else, then it's worth waiting to see what the client wants to do. When I'm in contract, I don't deal with agents apart from to tell them when the contract expires, so they know not to bother me about "exciting opportunities".

At the end of the contract, if there is no extension, then I take a break and look for something new then.

I feel dirty and cheap now.

Probably because you are.

HTH.

As it happens, the extension was plan D. Plan C was do nothing for Xmas. Plan B was sledges for Xmas and Plan A is to secure something back in California. The reason I closed the shop was to open up a move to the US in the New Year. The US thing may still come off in the next week but it's not looking good just yet.

I've been saying for a month I wouldn't extend.

I feel dirty and cheap now.

But to the point above, normally I start a month before the end.

California is bust! Haven't you heard?
