Gulp - i'm benched...

[lukemg]

Just got canned, no renewal coming. Had a good run here and probably got a bit too comfy, which is never a good idea. Benched in December - which is an even worse idea.
Shaken me up a bit, which it shouldn't after this long in the game, time for a stiff drink, dust myself down and get back in....

Chin up, don't let 'em see the fear in your eyes!

Chin up.
PMA.

Are you out the door already? I was benched on Monday, with a couple of weeks to tie things up, so I worked the network for all I could and had confirmation of a new contract in a different dept through this morning... If you're still there, see if there's anything about, work your network. Now is not the time to be going cold to agents.

Good Luck.

Go permie, you are not cut out for contracting IMO

Do you have a shortcut key for this post?

Tell them that you had started seeing someone else anyway. They'll then beg you to come back.

Oh, good luck - it will be Ok; as another poster said; decide on some time off without looking, i.e. a proper break. Try to enjoy!

Always a bit of a pain when it first happens..but take a short break and then right back at it in the new year.

you are lucky - I've been essentially outta work for 9 months. Which ain't good 'cause the wife now says she wears the pants, and then goes out and buys three handbags. I'm still paying all bills outta my pocket btw.

Bad luck. Where one door closes etc...

As other posters have said, enjoy Xmas and look in earnest in the new year. Enjoy the break
