    I'm benched from today (my own choice), chose not to take the kind offer of a rate reduction and decided to move on. Going to do some courses and take a month or so before I start looking for something else.

    LOL!

    Got an email from an agent today about a role I discussed with him Monday pm. He asks 'What's your lowest rate for this job?' Told him what we agreed on Monday afternoon. Remember? he then said 'yeah, but what's your lowest for this job?'
