    Today, I have been mostly.....

    turning down a contract extension

    Been at client co for a year, role has progressed, rate hasn't.

    Feels good right now - have things picked up in the support monkey market yet?

      I like to milk my clients until their teets are gnawed and shrivelled.

        Hm...... Now there's an idea - but went to Oz earlier this year.
        Would twice in one year be greedy?

        Maybe a little holidayet in Malta for the autumn sun ...................... wanders off to look at flights

              Keep on working and you will be the one that is gnawed and shrivelled.

              Time to take a break

                Just spotted a contract on my RSS feed for the same client, same building but for a team on the next floor down for £100 per day higher than my present rate, doing what I'm doing upstairs for my team.

                I'm off for a wander....

                    I'm thinking of taking a year off.
                    Egypt, India, OZ, NZ, and South America.

                    Then I saw my dream job this week, so I am back trying to decide again
