Morning everyone. Project self-destruct sequence initiated yesterday. I can now sit back and watch the slow-motion car crash while billing my daily rate for another couple of weeks. I'm a sick fecker and this is always my favourite part of the project.

I had 4 days on the bench last week and then got my lapsed contract renewed for 4 weeks, so I'm back there. But I had something else lined up (interim and less well paid) and there's plenty of work out there in my field.Originally posted by alreadypacked View PostWhile searching on jobserv, good luck.
The main thing I learnt in my 4 days is that I was much happier than I am in my current contract. I've got 2 years mortgage payments stashed away so no worries at all.Comment

Seems to be bussy at the moment, they want a permie for my role when I go, but can't find anyone. Agents keep call up cancelling interviews as the person has accepted another role.Originally posted by Old Greg View PostI had 4 days on the bench last week and then got my lapsed contract renewed for 4 weeks, so I'm back there.

I'm just worried it will have gone pear shaped by the time I come back next March.Fiscal nomad it's legal.Comment

Garden update:
5 tonnes of topsoil in place and rolled, ordered another 10 tonnes which was <ahem> conviniently delivered whilst working from home on Wednesday.
made a start and have managed to get 4 tonnes in place... six to go!
still might not be enough.... might have to go topsoil rustling!How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't thinkComment

Yeah - I had a great time and it was a vision of how life could be if freed from the curse of gainful employment.Originally posted by Troll View PostHave you ever noticed how days on the bench fly by....while days at work drag and seem to stretch to eternity?Comment

Feck, was hoping today was my last, the twits have delayed the final build so I can't test my bits until Monday
So only 4 days off next week before a round of pre Xmas invoicing
But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition. Pliny the youngerComment
