I'll be joining you towards the end of March so I hope it's a comfy bench. I spent a lot of last week looking at jobserve and it was a miseable time - no jobs appearing. I've 4 full weeks to get something sorted. Hopefully it should be enough.Originally posted by zara_backdog View PostMove over out there, as of Friday on the bench again after contract cut short by a couple of weeks.
