    Just got my one weeks notice served!

    What's going? First time in 6 years of contracting.... Completed the contract ahead of schedule.... my own fault I suppose.

    Right start looking for a new job. Start the clock....

      They probably tired of you flouncing off to the bathroom for a pot noodle every time a visitor walked into the office with a mac.

          Gosh 48 hours have almost passed and I've no found a new job yet.

          Should I be worried?

              When you are prepared to drop your rate by 50% drop me a line I have 3 or 4 positions available... (I am not joking either)

                He might have to drop more than his rates to get a contract in this market

                  Do many people negotiate cheaper rates booking several weeks in advance... that has to sting if you are left forced to pay for it while benched.

                    I am sure there will be a "to do" list to keep you busy. I am working from home in the summer house in Ireland, or as waiting for some plummers to call and give a quote.
