Oh, they're spread around the country, but that doesn't bother me. It doesn't bother me at all, it just seems to be a universal rule of contracting and buses; wait for one then 5 turn up at the same time.Originally posted by FiveTimes View Posthow far away is the new one thats cropped up ?And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

It's kind of like the way "holes" move through a semi conductor. A contractor moves into a new role, creating a hole, that another contractor fills, creating a hole, which is filled by another contractor, creating a hole and so on. Hence a single truly new role results in many holes that need to be filled.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

The trick in life is to try to be content - I usually suffer from the same thing - bought a house then suddenly 5 nice ones come on the market after waiting for ages. Start a contract then 10 other good ones magically appear. I have now stopped looking at Jobserve and Rightmove as well as stopped answering agent calls on my phone, life is much better that way.Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostOh, they're spread around the country, but that doesn't bother me.

You've been offered them all, or are they just agency emails looking for applications?Originally posted by Mich the Tester View Post...for a gig 45 minutes from home until the end of the year, and today I've got 5 e-mails with other projects that look right up my street. Is it ALWAYS the same?
If the former, that never happens to me

It part of the rules of contracting, along with: If you go for a few roles, you always get offered the worst one first.Originally posted by Mich the Tester View Post...for a gig 45 minutes from home until the end of the year, and today I've got 5 e-mails with other projects that look right up my street.
