Due to hit the Bench!!

[Elbuort]

Hi,

I am due to hit the bench in just a little under 2 weeks...which is not so daunting! Well it never used to be anyway. The reason I am a little concerned now is that after 3 years on 1 contract the phone has now stopped ringing with regards to other engagements. Just looking thru vacancies now even lower grade jobs that I apply for result in not even a phone call to waste time.

Is there still loads of us said contractors still out there on the bench?

It is the same for the majority of us. In answer yes to all accounts!

damn!

Can I correct your grammar, sir.

You sit on the bench and then hit the bottle, not the other way around.

Things are just starting to pick up in my field at the mo (.NET Dev). I would welcome a 12 Month stint on the bench (been v.carefull with the pennies) and the current gig is full of tards.
