Don't worry too much about the rate as long as it's not unfeasibly low. Everything from houses to cars to holidays to fine wines is getting cheaper anyway. Deflation's not bad as long as you're in work and you're still getting a couple of percent on your savings.
Mind you, 'cheapness always ends in negligence and depravation' so it's not always going to be good news.

I'm at a 15% drop at the moment, but still a hell of a lot more than a permie, but more importantly it will pay the bills so no real complaints here

The most annoying part is that it is a 5-10 min walk from where I used to live a couple of years ago, which is now a 2 hour trek in rush hour . Why don't the local ones ever turn up when you are local hey?

Boomed!!
Had an interview today and was offered the gig 30 mins later .
Starting Thursday, so that gives me a total bench time of 1 month which I'm quite chuffed with. Things seem to be looking up (mind you it's the lowest rate I've had for the past 5 years, but work is work).
I shall be having a celebratory boomed tipple later I think .Tags: None
