    B B B Benched????

    This is unique. Last day. Sat home in tracky bottoms, nothing to do.

    Contract has finished and clientco is not beating down my door with a contact extension even though it was mentioned. I mentioned that I might not extend (bluff - angling for a rate increase).

    Off on holiday for a week and then.........

    Who will blink first?

    Where's my fricking contract extension!!!!

    Ah that's why you are so grumpy this morning.

    Don't worry I'm sure they will be calling you soon.

      I think someone realised that the only person who knows their systems is MF. Because of that they want to see if they can sink or swim before bringing him back.

      Unfortunately MF has probably (foolishly) ensured decent documentation so that will be that.
      merely at clientco for the entertainment

          What I thought you were the mutts nuts.

          I'm sure there will be a post by the end of the day saying they have called you and want you back as they can't cope without you

            Ain't that the truth.

            Had been holding on for an offer from California, been on the phone to the US every day but it's just not happening.

            Just accepted an extension until end of Jan. Bird in the hand and all that.

            No rate increase.

                    Give me your hungry, your tired your poor I'll piss on 'em
                    that's what the Statue of Bigotry says
                    Your poor huddled masses, let's club 'em to death
                    and get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard

                    Get to end up, on the dirty boulevard
                    going out, to the dirty boulevard
                    He's going down, on the dirty boulevard
                    going out
