Permanent to contractor switch ... strategy question
I had the same dilemma back in January and decided to just hand my notice in. When I did I asked if they'd consider letting me go early and to my surprise they did - 3 weeks early resulting in a 1 week notice period. The contract didn't start for 2 weeks so had a week off :-) It depends on how...- JPennW

Rise of the extreme commuter
My next gig will be 95 miles each way (about 2hrs). 4 hours driving a day will not be fun so staying over once or twice a week will be on the cards. On the plus side the commute is great and through some stunning scenery. Best commute I had was 15 minutes each way, lasted 4 years on that one. -

TV shows from the USA
Watched the first couple of episodes, awful over acting by Spader, ludicrous plot (which to be fair, many shows have), sacked it. I quite like it, but Boone who plays Lizzie is tulip. Awful acting. Spader quite good for a change -
