I thought Goa was the direction you wanted to go in???

Yes, so I have agreed Jan, Feb and March 3 day week off shore. Will work UK mornings every day. Beach the rest of the time

Just started a new 3 months, already been asked about 3 months in the new year. New role is not in the direction I want to go in, but hell invoice, invoice, invoice!

So, who's currently on the bench?

It's a bit dark in here and I'd like to know who's sitting next to me - to avoid any nasty surprises.

Starting to get a bit bored now, after five weeks. Mrs F is using the time well and is now looking at moving house while I can go and look at them....

5 months and over 2,000 applications.

Great feeling telling pimps where to go.

end of 2010-2011 should be good IT predicted to grow 15%

Five months on the bench - got a numb bum now

[Archangel]

After 4 months on the bench I've just turned down a 12 month gig 10 minutes from home (on 75% of last rate mind)

Instead I've gone and done it. Plan B is up and running.

Nine and a half months.

Had only my third interview since the start of the year last friday. The seond one where the guy hadn't read my CV and wanted someone with skills that I don't have.

That's the answer, just invoice your way through the recession.

Yep.. I'm on the bench.... 3 months and counting. Partly self inflicted... but there you go.

I'm off the bench in two weeks time, a 3 month stint on it, not a sniff of work apart fron the gig I have lined up. Quite enjoyable, lots of DIY and gardening and just flagged a double drive.

i was going to reply but there is no poll

Polls only allow ten answers, IIRC; I suspect there would have to be multiple polls to cover all the CUKers currently sharing that piece of furniture

Sorry - won't be there to give you a until after Christmas. I'm planning on having a little break in January; hopefully it won't last longer than I would wish...

Third day. Working on plan B. Expect to be here for a while.

If you feel anything wet and slimy then I've probably been successful on the river. If you find a ring then its mine!
