    I never worry anyway - there's always some work somewhere.
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

        Been on the bench a while, but I wouldn't say I am panicing yet.
        The Ltd has enough cash for a year yet.
        I am still picking and choosing where I apply. The ones I am dismissing may become more appealing in a month or two.
        The biggest issues are boredom (I have lots to do, but need to work) and the wife getting sick of me being at home. She panics too.
        I am not qualified to give the above advice!

        Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

            i (and possible others here) seem to be getting extensions for fun.

            i'm here till june and there is already talk of staying on, and this programme will run for years!!!

            not sure i want to be here, however, having work is better than having none.
            I didn't say it was your ******* fault, I said I was blaming you!

                    Current contract runs for another 6 weeks but the project has a green light for the next year so am optimistic about extension.
