        Only to represent the degree of risk... 3 months (even with chance of renewal) is still a risky proposition from my fairly 'safe' position.

          Finished at 'Datsun' a month ago.

          I've just been offered a 6 month contract back at a previous client.

          Plan B going well, Exec MBA exams next month - I'd better start revising s'pose.

          Other than that, all quiet.

            Hmm, no, not really. No job in the commercial sector is really for more than 3 months; if quarterly figures are down, the redundancy randomiser is fired up and you have a 1 in x chance of redundancy.

            Just go for it, save up half your income for the first 3 months and don't worry.
