Back to work on Monday for me after 3 weeks off, dreading it!
Current renewal is until the end of the month then there is talk of it extending until June or September 13. Best rate I have ever earned but the commute and work is doing my head in. Made the sensible decision to suck it up if the renewals materialise, would really like to move and that would be my deposit. I've stuck a schedule of a flat I like to the fridge to motivate me - hope it works!
odd the way extension dates work. one place was start on, say, 6th and finish on 6th. So next would start on 7th and finish on 7th! So each contract was 1 year + 1 day!
Fook 2 years... I get bored of the scenery after 12months...I'm bored now
WTS - I did 3 years once and vowed never to do it again. 12 months ish and I loose the will to work for them and is the reason I started contracting. Just jumped ship after 14 months and it was 3 months too long. Now looking forward to the next gig although ominously, was told the project was for 3 years, and I have a six month contract to start.
