    I prefer to call it 'resting' ...like an actor.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        I'm on the bench and I have to say the market looks quite good.

        One agent told me that some companies are laying off permies and are loading up with contractors to cover the work
        Cats are evil.

            Actually, yes. Then he can sting you for a crappy rate.

              roots,

              agreed, looked at jobserve the other day and there's loads of newfangled dot net contracts.

                Not a bad thing

                Good contractors should thrive in a recession - only the newbies get scared and run back to 'safety'.
