    Same. I've been in to a place for a month / three
    monther and been extended up to 2 years (3 times now). Result.

    Also started on a six
    monther and been terminated after four days. Bastards.
    What happens in General, stays in General.
    You know what they say about assumptions!

      I rocked up for my first contract fully expecting to be there no more than 3 months. That turned into 3 years, then another 18 months in another office for the same client. Not too shabby eh?

        Half the fun of contracting is you get to work at many different places. Learn new technologies and gain valuable experience faster, don't get bogged down in the politics, make loads of connections/mates, etc etc.

          (*Lovely place with great, friendly locals BTW )
          Nice nearby countryside for summer evening jaunts, too.

              Is there another Yeadon?
