But why? What-ya-done?Originally posted by lightng View PostSee you guys. I'm off to be a permie. I'm working on a plan B, but I no longer can consider myself a true contractor.
Its been fun. I was hoping to be "LightNg Fingers Like Lightning" before I left, but alas, it was never to be.
No sockpuppets to declare but here lies my final avatar.
Good luck to all on the bench ....

Congrats on the job. Praps just RIP (Reskill-in-permiedom) and then come back? Think of it as a two year contract?

Congrats, although I'd keep your badge if I were you as you may well be back.
I left to the dark side for a couple of years but couldn't resist putting my spurs back on.
