Well good luck on finding the pot o' gold man.Originally posted by RichardCranium View PostNo, what I said was I had clawed my way up to nearly earning what I was some years ago; my most recent gig have been COTS implementations. Although COTS is, of course, a misnomer.
Just around the corner I am sure

I'm looking even though I'm in a role (coming up for renewal/binning) and it's exceptionally quiet. I'd go as far as saying it's quieter now than it was in DecemberOriginally posted by Clippy View PostHow is everyone benched finding things in their respective areas?
Been on the bench for a few weeks now - taking it easy - but keeping a (lazy) eye on JobSwerve etc and it seems fairly quite in my area (Svc Delivery).
Is this the same for everyone else?
