    Working on Plan A and B with equal vigour

    Interestingly, Plan A contract is due to expire in 4 months. PM has already been on the phone to me checking that I'll be available for an extension

              Plan A ended 10 weeks ago. Plan B is always looking but with some agencies interpreting clients requirements to the letter it seems I might be on the bench for some time to come yet. mad

                With all these government departments practically doing your Infosec marketing for you I would have thought this area was booming

                  Working on Plan B, whilst benched and looking. So somewhere between option #2 and #3.
                  Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                    What about a former Plan B that is now Plan A?
                    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
