    I've been in a contract for four months.

    I completed all my deliverables within 2 months.

    Since 14th Feb I have read over 20 books on my Kindle app, at work.

    I have, on numerous occasions, volunteered and asked for extra work - very little has been force coming.

    I started my extension yesterday!

    Apparently, they don't want to lose me as I'm very effecient at what I do (!!!)

    Yep, it's public sector!

    Yep, It doesn't have anything to do with the topic in question - I just wanted to tell my story, thanks for reading!

              That was a nice story. I'm all sleepy now.
              Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

                I liked the story, especially the "Yep, it's public sector!" which made me laugh. I do hope you are reading to educate rather than to amuse, as one day you will want to join the rest of us in the real world.

                  Amuse and educate - however it's my first ever public sector contract after 15 years of contracting.

                  Why didn't I do this years ago?
