    I went back to one clientco 3 years after a previous contract and enjoyed the second stint a lot more. But generally I hate going back to old places - not necessarily the original company, but the same area as a previous gig.

    I went for an interview today, for example, in a building where I'd worked previously for a different company. I had half an hour to kill before the interview, giving myself plenty of time and all that, and I had a wander round the area and remembered how mind-numbingly dull the place was. I actually thought to myself, hope I don't get this role (beware what you wish for). Just a complete desert as far as anything remotely interesting to look at on a lunchtime stroll. And that was in London. Some places I've worked don't even have an elevated motorway outside as an interesting feature.

    I think I might be a bit jaded with age though, because pretty much everywhere bores me these days. But the work still keeps me interested a lot of the time, and that's the main thing.

    Sounds like a bit a good break to me.

    I have only had one really bad 3 month contract and I would go back to it rather than get benched and worry so if money is good and working env is ok then well done you IMHO!!

    If the work's not unpleasant and you can build the warchest some more, then why not
