    Make sure you knock one out before leaving - don't forget to buy the pot noodle beforehand.

    Well Badge, that seems to settle it. Best be off.

    But before you leap, remember that a job in the hand is worth two in the bush.

    Sorry to hear it. Are there any others who might be ... ahem ... grateful?

    Have you not been 'badgering' them about an extension?

    Been here 9 months doing work that is far too technical (I'm a PM) and need the fear to get out there and secure a contract relevant to my skill set. I need a little bit of job satisfaction and this is giving me nothing apart from a decent rate (which I know is important but its not everything to me).

    I know alot of you will think I'm crazy to turn down an extention if they offered it but sometimes you just know it time.

    My pappy said to me that its always easier to look for work while you are in work than look for work while your not.

    Its like girlfriends, when you don't have one, you can never seem to get one, but then when you have one, more potential seems to come along.

    same with buses

    Only a masochist would stay in a gig he hated, just to earn a bit more dosh. Think about your mental health and walk. After all, we contract so that we avoid all this BS.
    Walk now, you know it makes sense

    You would be mad to leave now, Christmas and the recession are both coming, you could be benched for years. Bite hard and swallow and stick it out.

    Good luck - Maybe use this time to find a wife?

    Second thoughts, just a contract will do!
