Reply to: Things to do on the bench

[BigTime]

I thought that was happening to me, but it turned out the agent was sending the contract to the wrong address.

Hope this passes the time for you.

they definitely canned me. another member of the agency called me a couple of hours afterwards and asked if i was still looking for contract work (i know i'm good but..) for the same client on a different site.

got benched today on the last day of the contract having had an extension offered but not sealed and delivered.

it'd solve this problem though

That's what created the wife / kids scenario in the first place.

Stick with the PN&W I say.

I would hate to be on the bench and stuck at home, with the wife and kids.

You know when you're stuck at work in front of your computer and the days are slow and the work pointless and tedious and you daydream about where you would rather be instead of wasting your precious life with all this carp? Do that instead.

Isn't it sad that when away from the world of work, which is largely a world of nonsense, stress and life wasting, you think you're better off back in it?

Strange.

Observatory Report : Socio-Economics Labour and Purpose

A tremendous number of people in Britain work very hard at something that bores them.

Even a rich man thinks he has to go down to the office everyday.

Not because he likes it - but - because he can't think of anything else to do.

I'm all confused ! Should I have said 'SAP is DOOMED' 'SAP is BOOMED' '.Net id DOOMED' or '.Net is BOOMED' ?

Milan ?

What I was trying to say is the .Net market isn't looking too good.
