    I suspect like me many turncoats would continue lurking or posting here anyway. It's by far and away the most engaging forum I "attend" regularly.

    In my area the gigs just aren't around this year, so in the current climate I 'd rather be a working permie rather than a benched contractor with a growing gap on my CV wondering when and where the next gig is going to come from.


    Quite right. I was just teasing. I really hope things pick up for you.

    Couple of things, sorry it's my inner bedwetter.

    1 That site doesn't exist.

The last thing we want is to be responsible for tipping him over the edge and him going on a gun toting killing spree. So a little decorum if you please.

    That said, why doesn't the bedwetting permie put his time to good use and actually publish www.permieuk.co.uk and get rich. Boomed.

    I went to Dyas today to buy a new hacksaw. I'm so bored I might start sawing off my own fingers at my desk just for something to do.

    Ho Hum.

    Just learn some stuff, new skills, enjoy yourself. Think you are lucky to be paid to do whatever you want all day (within the confines of sat at your desk).

    Set up your home computer as a remote desktop, then you can do what you like on the net without anyone the wiser.

    The occasional lunch date really helps too.
