    On the bench now!

    Well I have now been officially on the bench for 1 week!

    Spending loads of money too! Buying car audio, this that and the other....

    Oh well, you only live once...

    Wife is still working

      Can't speak for the contract market generally, but my area seems to be in suspended animation.

      Been put forward to several clients (so the agents say), but all are discussing the role and generally messing about.

        Owl, same experience here. It does seem a little more lively now though.

            WHS.

            I'm in suspended animation waiting for my security clearance (which is already valid, and lasts for another three years) is renewed so that it lasts for another 5 years

              Same here - systems/ control engineering. Roles come up, agent phones, agent sends cv, then not a lot of movement after that, phoning agent back reveals that mostly the client are holding it up.

              Will be stacking shelves next month.
