    I was giving advise about his next contract, so he does not end up on the bench just before christmas, and may not get a new role until mid-end January.

    As the project is finished, he can look to start somewhere else.

    Should have told them he was immediately available then.

    I am always looking at contract end date even before I accept a role and judge if there is likely to be an extension. If I don't get extended to a good date I will look for a longer or shorter extension.

    suityou stop putting the client first, you are first, client second.

    Benched as of 2nd nov. Current project coming to a close. All delivered.

    The SAP project I was delivering to is going to hell in a handcart though.

    I keep getting dragged into meetings to give my considered opinion, and am told I am well respected by the SAP team. However this does not extend to being offered a contract extension but them.

    What I have noticed is that their senior architect is struggling like f***, and in front of an audience has been slagging me off, and behind closed doors implementing everything I have been advising.

    No more freebies from me, but it's too late I guess. Once again I'm shocked at how childish and f******* underhand people can be, and how f****** naive I can be. Makes me want to chin the chunt.

    Anyways, rant over, bring on the hoards of CUK, oh yes, and don't forget to clear those 5 spaces for me.

    Hire a professional, don't do it yourself. I can recommend Big Dagger Dave from Dagenham or Chop 'Em up Harry from Hounslow.
    Its a shame J Saville isn't around any more. He had a fair few contacts.
