It's an immutable law of nature.
Every single damn time I've taken a contract or accepted a dirty permie role, I've had numerous amazing opportunities present themselves shortly afterwards.

IMO it is because people don't know enough maths. Ask people the odds of getting 5 heads or 5 tails in a row upon tossing 20 coins and they will guess 1 in 20 or something like that(if they understand the question). The odds are 25%. There is more chance of grouping than people think.

Snap mate, shortly after I took this gig in Ipswich I was swamped with gigs for back home in God's Own Republic of Yorkshire.
Shrug it off mate as one of those things

I have a cunning plan. Grow a beard and agree with the other contractor that he should grow a beard; wear similar clothes to each other. Then swap places again and you can both work closer to home; nobody will notice!
