New "outside" contract, modest rate increase on existing.
I suppose I should feel euphoric but I actually feel exhausted and stressed, it's not easy finding outside contracts at the moment and the thought of going permie or inside makes me nauseous - I may be allergic. -

Doomed to BOOMED!
When I found myself stuck in hospital at the start of December, my contract was due to end in early January. An extension had been on the cards, but as the heart surgery meant I'd be unable to work until the end of January at the earliest, ClientCo naturally had to start looking elsewhere.

Well looks like I nailed it.
Money's poor but I'll be getting AngularJS 2.0 and WPF so am looking at this as an opportunity to skill up.
