    Unbenched - at last!

    Well after 3 months sitting on the bench - finally landed a 6 month role

    PM for a couple of projects in the public sector - 5 miles from home -- only thing is I have had to cut my rate by 100 quid a day - put still not bad.

    Applied Thursday - agent called me and submitted CV Friday, interview was at 08:30 this morning and just got confirmation email with contract. Just like the old days.

    Now let see if I can do it - as it is trying to get two failed projects back on track..

    Wish me luck!

          Very well done! 3 months on the bench must be disheartening.
