Looking up - after 6th day on the Bench got two interviews [one TBC] next week.

One : Monday Morning - Rate same as pre-recession so im pleased

2nd - Face to face to be confirmed but will believe it when it happens but at the highest rate I've ever worked for.

and

Both roles came to me off Monster.

Hmm. I'd given up on Monster...

Hmm got a call from Agent - told me the role - and after 10 mins explained "they only want to offer fixed term contracts as a route in" my immediate and honest response was "In that case we may want to forget this opportunity and we'll leave it at that" as I had no intention of listening further - to which she changed her tune and says "how much would I be looking for at a day rate?"

what is going on? So does this mean they are charging day rates to the end client and then placing us contractors on fixed term and creaming the rest?

Just tell em yeah ...and then bugger off at the end.

I'd take some time off, but the bloody wife and kids(yes kids), another ones popped out are bleeding me dry.

If only i'd seen this happening back in 99, I would have turned left at the lights instead of right!!!

Is that some kind of euphemism for chutney tower?

M/F, long time no see, is the second one boy or a girl? Congrats, but I sympathise, and frankly, you aint seen nothing yet, wait until you start paying for their education costs and teenage wanting this and that trying to keep up with each other - at that time come here and complain about being bled dry

[Sockpuppet]

You have been a busy boy!

Or someone's been a naughty girl...

I am now officially a Loser again. Or might I add a BIGGER loser.

Benched from next Friday albeit with a respectable pay off as I agreed a fixed term at a good rate with a clause.

Market seems better than it was last Nov to March - but may just sit out till Feb 2010 and chilax.

Cant really say theres any decent roles that excite me - but lets see. Wouldnt mind a 3 month and then take Nov to Feb off.

Will focus on SEO on my Plan B as its soo bloody time consuming this SEO malarky!
