But we have been trying to get a project up and running for the client which would have set me up nicely until next summer, but the sponser doesn't like me and thinks I am too expensive, so my the number of days for me in the plan are steadily getting reduced to zero.

My first contract, I argued with the Solution Architect (who was just plain wrong, and ignored my recognized expert advice). Gradually, the work for me got less and less, at which point he said "what are we paying this guy for?" and they terminated the contract with immediate effect.

You need to put spaces in there occasionally or it doesn't work.

You mean ... a banana split?!

Ahem. I'll get my coat.

I suspect most people that have been contracting a while will have similar stories. Despite the frustrations, it is still better than being a permie.

Good evening, I passed 500 TPD earlier this evening

Well done (again )

Solution Architects and Technical Design Authorities are always wrong. They are techie permies that have outlived their ability to do their job. It's sad, but they should really be put down, it's the only humane thing to do with them. Wandering about, dribbling, making the place smell. It's not fair on them and it's not fair on us.

Such is contracting. Hey ho and tiddley pom.

Frustrating as it was my first gig. But I walked into something better paid the following week.
