I'm not sure which I dread more, bench time or dealing with agents.

Why is SimonMac Ltd not continuing to work the bank holiday?

Because I rarely work when I can't invoice for it!

I guess the extra day on the 29th Feb should balance it out

Is that really the most competitive rate you can offer?

I just need to get two references.

Is it just contract work you're looking at or would you consider permanent?

Yes it's just contract work; I'm not considering suicide at the moment thanks.

Having become a contractor only 6-7 weeks ago, I must say I wouldn't like to be a permie again

Just wait till you get your first paid invoice, you will forget what a permie is

Hey. I dread neither. Agents are a piece of piss to deal with and god I pray for the day I eventually get benched.
