Contract ends 23rd. Billing to the bitter end. Seem to be on a retainer in case they think of a document edit at the 11th hour.

Benching it from January if a potential client doesn't find another person to interview for a new gig. Damn companies applying permie style recruitment policies to freelance hires.

Are you off?

I wondered what that smell was.

[darmstadt]

Nope, work today then fly home on the redeye from Dulles on Sunday to Frankfurt arriving early Monday. Grab a couple of hours kip and then drive down to Stuttgart where I shall be working until midday'ish on the 23rd and then back down for the 27-30, celebrate New Year and back on 3rd Jan...

I'll be working on SKA v2.

We don't trust our contractors enough to do that, I was even ordered to tell my contractors that if they were in they had to work in a office were there was a permy in so they could keep an eye on them lol

Same where I am TBH, 3 week furlough for most. I have history with the client so they know what to expect....

WFH almost every day of contract, finish 23rd then back on the 3rd

Yeah i find that too much time off leads to too much talking to her/him indoors, never healthy, save that for the 2 weeks a year on holiday when you're forced to communicate 24/7.

Sounds very costly to me

Wow, this is a really bad day for relationship break-ups.

Sorry guys, my heart goes out to you all

Had 6 months bench time earlier this year so not for me, working up to 22nd (and also a few days in between).

qh proper contractor.

I'm adopting a Dory type mantra. "Just keep billing, just keep billing".
