Oh dearOriginally posted by NickFitz View PostCongrats on 31000, everybody
Having struggled (despite my cold
) down to London and finally made it to ClientCorp, the first thing I'm told is that a recruitment freeze has bitten off my extension and I shall be out of work as of Christmas.


Might as well pack up now and go home then.Comment

Yep - get looking now, and see what happens. Mate of mine had given up looking before Christmas, and then an agent rang him out of the blue last week offering a new 6 month gig with 4 year rollout!Originally posted by BA to the Stars View PostThat is bad Nick - get searching now and get that CV out there. The pimps will be like bees round honey
Means that I can also pick up the bits of work in January that he was meant to be lined up for...Comment

Four more weeks of invoicing, and as nobody's around to get me up to speed on what I'll be working on for that time, I have been told to "just amuse yourself for a bit"Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostOh dear

I read that Google article about web-based malware that you recommended, Nick.
Made interesting reading while I was waiting for take off this morning. I think there's a definite Plan B in there for me.Comment

I'll budge up and make room on the bench. It's quite warm where I've been sitting.Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

Still not sure, although given that I'll probably have plenty of time at home shortly, I may stay the extra night in town.Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostOh, it's a tough life sometimes...

I'd better start researching somewhere nicer to go than All Bar One Soho...
