Hope you'll keep on posting Mich - I've got a few weeks before I'm out on my arse (unless anyone takes a look at the logs before then) and I need all the help I can get to stay awake.
Good hunting!

Last day at clientco
Benched as of tomorrow. War chest is OK; should last 6 months at least, and if I work a couple of days per week in the pub, with a little translation work on the side, I can hold out for well over a year, so I’m not too worried. However, the market’s tulipe for testers right now, so I’ll spend some time brushing up technical skills until I start seriously looking for a new contract. Luckily summer’s coming, so I might be able to get to the beach a few times.
