    Hmm, no, not really. No job in the commercial sector is really for more than 3 months; if quarterly figures are down, the redundancy randomiser is fired up and you have a 1 in x chance of redundancy.

    Just go for it, save up half your income for the first 3 months and don't worry.

    Finished at 'Datsun' a month ago.

    I've just been offered a 6 month contract back at a previous client.

    Plan B going well, Exec MBA exams next month - I'd better start revising s'pose.

    Other than that, all quiet.
