    I've been contracting for 14 years & now find myself in the unenviable position of 'resting' as the contract finished yesterday & I have not managed to secure another one yet. I have 60k in the company accounts so not stuck for cash

    Being unemployed is boring - daytime TV is krap, porn is too 2 dimensional, and I really can't be arsed to do all those little jobs around the house that wifey wants doing.
    Don't wanna go on another holiday,

    WTF can I do to pass the time?

        Start your own business. Or just wait. Soon the conditioned feeling that you must be doing something useful/interesting/worthwhile will pass and you will get great fulfillment from just sitting and staring at the wall as I do.

            Me too, I'm a well practiced wall starer. Been out for 8 months and loving it. Can't really be arsed going for another contract but the money won't last forever. It helps not being married though.

              Hey toad! Perhaps we could exchange pics of each other's walls? My favourite this week is the outer wall of the downstairs bog, got some great cobwebs!

                No pictures of walls I'm afraid, but here's my other favourite passtime.

                  In the time honoured way of contractors on the bench, take the opportunity to crack one off whenever you want.

                    I find that having Mrs Gonzo doing a well paid (permie) job makes time spent on the bench a whole lot more bearable....
