    Contracts are like buses

    So two weeks ago I had no contract having been told by client that the end was nigh. Two weeks of speaking to agents, getting fed the usual crap, and slowly resigning myself to a few weeks off before xmas at the very least.

    Monday, client has change of heart and asks me if I want to stay for 2 months minimum (3 month extension). Yesterday morning I get a request for an interview for two other gigs (one local crap money, one slightly more same distance).

    Since current client has not finalised the extension yet, current plan is to attend both these interviews on a 'just in case' basis. Good plan?

    You've mentioned this change of heart in a like 5 threads. People might have been vaguely interested first time. It's the same cycle. Everytime you come to the end of a gig you start posting absolute trash again. Is it such a worry you need big wooly hugs to get you through the day?

    Why don't you just keep you head down and go get another gig or get this one signed and then a quick boomed post like everyone else??

        Sorry
        Its not very entertaining that when you need to be a contractor you fail miserably.

        We've mention looking until you are sat at the client so many times and you've posted in many threads where it is mentioned.

        You are just looking for attention for some reason.

              True it's the equivalent of annoying twats posting enigmatic 'why do bad things happen to good people' statuses on social media, promoting a wave of 'what's wrong hun' responses from other twats... very tiresome.

                  You mean big and sometimes flexible in the middle?
                  Or that if you get the wrong one, you'll regret ending up not where you wanted to be?

                    Those Germans that hired Suity to help with their vehicle emissions tests found that out
