        Why not accept the pay cut, continue to invoice and start looking for something else?

        Once a new gig has been secured you can wave goodbye

        Must be a better option than to sit on the bench, earning nought.

          what if you can sit on the bench, enjoying the sun, perhaps doing some courses or enjoying your hobbies, safe in the knowledge that your skills are in demand and you can find work pretty quickly anyway?

                That's fine if a new contract can be secured quickly but never forget the old saying, "act in haste repent at leisure"

                  Why not drop your pants and bend over at the same time?

                      I acted in haste when I thought it was over before and took another contract. Having spent a long period with 2 contracts, I believe I'm due a bit of leisure.
