1-2months depending on the season.
I think I am very picky.
If it's not role x using technology y in industry z, and preferably hiring my own team, some other mug can have it.

It has a big sun roof!
Well recently I'm doing machinery removals for a mate. Got to a lift last week was tramping (i.e. sleeping in the lorry stopping where ever the next load takes me).
Pickup in Gloucester, 4 hours POA waiting for the crane to sort its tulip out sat in the sun soaking it up. Take that stuff down to Nantes to be loaded bangalore bound (was knitting equipment) spin round and come back.

Not bad when the weather is like this.

Why, is it a convertible lorry? Does it have a targa roof?Originally posted by SockpuppetCouple O' Weeks.
I'd rather contract in the winter when its rubbish and haul machinery in the summer when its warm and I can be outside.
Won't your Yorkie bars melt too quickly?

Then again I'm very choosey about which projects I take. Dont apply for them unless I think they are right and taking me in the direction that I want to go (no, seriously). I have a good plan B to fall back on.
Last contract finished 4 weeks ago, to be honest not looked that hard just been out and about in the lorry enjoynig the weather. I'd rather contract in the winter when its rubbish and haul machinery in the summer when its warm and I can be outside.
