6 weeks into a 6 month contract. I had about a month "resting" (actually working on my own stuff) before that.

About to start my fourth 3 month contract with my current client. It's been pretty good work thus far, and I've been pleased to achieve something, but now they want me to merge code from one product to another and then create a common source. Oh Lord. I do wonder if it's time to scarper.

I've had 1 week 'resting' in about 8 years. More by luck than design though.

Can you quiet your racing mind
And become one with yourself?
Can you let go of your tension
And become supple as a baby?
Can you cleanse your vision
And dispel your inner clouds?
Can you love and lead the people
Without manipulating?
In the throes of life,
Are you able to adapt and let go?

Love and nurture.
Create without possessing.
Act without expecting.
Lead without controlling.

This is the Power of Good
That flows invisible within us.

For the past two weeks whilst on vacation I did in fact achieve the tranquility which you describe above Threaded, it was refelcted upon my I Ching reading which was the Pentagram named Tai, or Peace.

To be aware of. then transcend the duality of life ,then there is supreme peace.

Even upon my return to the office today, it was the least busy for over a year, so Peace be amongst you all.

There is nothing greater than Peace of Mind.

I'm out and have just had a lovely agent call me. He assured me that, although the contract I applied for has gone, he will be working very hard to find me a really good contract. Apparently my skillset is in great demand. All he needs are 3 recent references.......

He works for a very "forward looking" company.

Churchill,

me too are we on the same project ?

Milan.

I very much doubt it. We don't use tapes for backup!

Contract that was meant to be for a few months, but ended up being nearly 3 years, expires next month. The client's HR dept is refusing another renewal even though the management want me to continue. Can't be bothered to fight it so am going to take 2 months off and do very little. I do intend to be sober for sections of it, though.

[ladymuck]

I'm resting during a contract.

Sounds like my current contract!

[Not So Wise]

In middle of 3th renewal and wondering if i am nuts for even contemplating a 4th after i come back from a month long holiday this summer.

[NetwkSupport]

Extended until october but i reckon the project will finish in july time, havent started looking yet, am trying to decide where to look for work (stay in UK or try out somewhere in europe..)

Anyone worked in Barcelona before????

[Xenophon]

Extended for another 3 months.

[chock]

Nope, more of a "mobile phone / chewing gum / emergency services" related project..

O2?
