I don't hate you all any more.

6 months new contract, new part of the same project, rate increase, option of a 6 month extension at the end (at least).

Gotta love public sector!

You got it?? Well done!!

I've got this contract from last June until next March or April. That's long enough, surely?

Managing expectations in a polite way has never hurt me, yet.

Except with the wife regarding marital duties, of course

I've got a couple of months to go before my current extension ends just before Christmas.

On Monday morning I was requesting days off around x-mas. After getting it approve I asked the boss-woman if I should start looking for a new gig from Jan 1. And she promptly replied "Definately NOT!!!"

So I got extended as well this week. Just don't know for how long - most likely to the end of April. Might be time for a long summer vacation after that

I'd be less inclined if the "Am I going the right way?" thread came back...
