Current gig ends 13 July, new one starts 16 July with small rate rise, probably until end of year.

That, after possibly my worst interview performance in years.

Nice.

While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

That's what the guy said when he tried to get the rate down, but I told him I'd turned down 2 other interviews to get to that one. Why shouldn't I bluff?
