    And now I have one contract, that I explicitly said I didn't want to progress, chasing me to make me change my mind.

    The other one that I do want has the interview for Friday.

    Flipping heck, just take 'no' for an answer FFS!
    I also had that this morning.

    Which part of not interested did you not grasp last Monday. I know the client is slow and has only just looked at my CV from 2 weeks ago but I said last Monday I wasn't interested and no amount of pleading by you will solve that. Even if they offered a contract there and then without an interview...

      lets hope its a trend and they all want you bad, nothing better than having to beat them all off with a stick sometimes.

            A happy problem?

            Can't you just say you will accept if they pay some vastly inflated rate?

              Links are up - would have been earlier, but I'm actually quite enjoying the stuff I'm playing with today, possibly because I'm doing it on my own Mac, with ClientCorp's Windows thing relegated to its rightful place as a documentation displayer

                It went. Can't say that I was too enthusiastic aboout it.

                I think I might have lost my mojo for work...

                    I know that feeling.

                    Have option 1 on the table, could post boom thread if I was bothered..
                    Turned down one last week before they offered as I really didn't want it.
                    Got a phone interview this after for another.. Advantage is its central London so easy to get to. Downside is its not the end client of option 1..

                    So I should be totally happy but for reasons unknown I'm not...

                      The agent actually thought (or the client probably) that I would spend money and time travelling into London in order to be persuaded to go for a contract that I didn't want!
