My contract finishes at the end of March, I said I was looking for 6 month ext. Not sure if it was the right thing to do, but I don't want 3 months and end up in the middle of the summer with no work and little chance of getting any. At least now I have a chance of getting 6 months else where, I hope

Loads of damn permie roles which I never wanna go back to unless I am offered ridiculous amounts of money.
However, market for Microsoft technologies development seems to be really picking up. I am hopeful I can find one soon after this contract will finish. Though its only hopeful at the moment until the bench is cleared. Am getting loads of calls even though I keep telling them I am in contract, which is kinda wierd?

Loads of calls received here but they're picking up on old experience on my CV. From hardware system programming through to penetration testing(£280 a day only) and even business analysis I've had calls about them all. Rates are rubbish though.
I'm already in a gig anyway, albeit a little bored but trying to keep the pecker up for now while I learn some new stuff(in spare time) which hopefully I'l use for the next gig.

I've had loadsa calls in the past 2 weeks most of them for permie though. I've told the pimps I'd consider a good permie role and quoted a high salary. I've had some interviews and turned one down, will be going for another interview next week.
Got one call today the pimp said it was a PM role in a bank. I said I didn't have banking experience, he said it didn't matter. I said how come it didn't matter its being mattering for months. He said the bank wants the right level person with the right skills regardless of industry and there was a shortage of PMs at that level. Hmm - well he didn't ask for any references yet.

Both have nowhere to go. Market dead.
Nervously, they smile and politely exchange professional small talk - they size each other up - there must be a chance for one of us.
"Which one of us will wear the crown in the beauty parade?" they both think.
Both think that one of them should be be saved but which one?
Both don't realsie or accept that they arn't needed anymore...by anyone....ever again.....
"Someone must want me - I'm really good - Look, I've been in continuous gigs for 5 years".
The silence is deafening.....
.....except for agent calls
