Yes - but that didn't meant I wasn't worried about it

Shortlisted for one inside local role - something a bit niche compared to what I have done before. Won't hear about 3 outside roles until may.....

Usual nervousness about not being in a contract.

I've just given up a really handy local contract in favour of an outside one, I'm also hoping they don't go back on it!

Feels like Christmas Eve. All invoices paid up, revised business processes in BAU, just waiting for the big day tomorrow!

Well,
Contract finished at the end of last month and seem to be on track to have final payment by 5 Apr.

No immediate prospect of new contracts though there may be something from the recent SC expo.

I've got an open mind to future inside or outside PS Contracts, or even a retreat to permanent entry. My understanding is that it is going about 50/50 inside/outside in PS.... but it will take some time for things to become clear.

The forum seems quieter too. Just waiting, I guess......

it is beyond quiet. It is "find something else to do".

Quiet? That's the sound of momentary shocked silence just after the brown stuff has hit the fan and gets sprayed over the room.
