Struggling!!!

Put on poll on CUK to see how many are benched and for how long.

If nothing else that should get your motivation back.

I like the way you think

Make the most of the free tea and coffee, raid the stationary cuboard and think of the invoice

Also being sat on my own-io in an office at the entrance to the site doesn't help!

Usually the lack of a signed timesheet is a big enough motivator for me, the last permy boss I worked for was a complete knob and throughout my contract I kept thinking of ways to humiliate him when I was leaving.

I'm at home now and I can't invoice till the end of the month so I never got my chance but it's probably just as well.

Keep applying for other roles. Look at it as an opp to get a better job/ higher rate.
