    I contacted Gig B to see if this stay of execution means they could hammer something out.

    Tune in later for the next new exciting installment.
    You've fooked up on both of them haven't you?

      One could argue the agent fooked it up by completely ignoring me.

        Best move he ever made.

          Is the next thrilling installment the one where neither contracts meets your terms and conditions, or decide to find someone else more competent (I know, that search will be difficult for them)?

            You just sign any old contract do you?

              No. The next thrilling instalment is the one where Suity negotiates hard , gets the right gig , goes in, gets ignored , saves the day , gets ill , gets depressed , saves the day , gets ignored , threatens to leave , saves the day , agrees to stay , saves the day , and leaves the project at the end of the three months , only to find the bench not very accommodating

              I think I've read this one before.

                Funny I was starting to feel that way about your posts.

                  I'm sold subject to contract on the other gig. This one is for 6 months, not 3 and is financial services which I've always tried to break into.

                  Could you do it? Jilt someone at the last minute?

                    I wonder if I can make a career of it?

                    Off to the playroom office now

                      Ah well. Kick back and live off your war chest for 6 months. Life's too short for them to be messing you around like this.
                      And being a BPM guy, you don't really need the $ do you.

                      Why not buy a mobile home, take the young family round Europe for 6 months. You deserve it after what you've been through in the last 18 months.
