Chin-up and enjoy a well earned break. Something alway's crops up eventually. Never nice when your contract is terminated before it's end date.

Oh, loads. There's always room for one more.Originally posted by WetBehindTheEars View PostAny room on the bench?
BTW, avoid the damp patch.
Such is contracting.Originally posted by WetBehindTheEars View PostThe client terminated my contract yesterday.
Signed a 6 month contract on 1st June, but the client has terminated it already.
Still, it beats finishing a contract on 1st December with nothing to go to. It's nicer on the bench in the sunshine than on the bench under a bare Xmas tree!
There's a coolbox at the end of the bench marked '1st Aid'. It's got the beers in. Help yourself.

Sorry to hear that mate, I hope the war chest is full enough to get you going until the next gig.
What type of contract was it?
In London?
What technology?
Tester, BA, dev?
Finance? NHS? ...?
PS: Hey cyberDude proud of Britain
How are the snails going?
