Just been told I'm starting a 3 month contract on Monday, but the agent needs to dot the i's with the client. Not too bothered if it falls through (it's quite a hike across west London and the rate is sub 200) but at least it shows there are some contracts out there. On reflection I'd sooner be working come the darker days, so fingers crosssed.

This is a good time to be stashing the cash. I'm up for a new gig from Monday as well, but it isn't in the smoke.Comment

OK, 2009 was a bad year in Holland, but even the most junior testers fresh out of college were on 35 euros per hour.

Life is short. One day, it's over.
You won't catch me working/living in some eastern European backwater.
Or Wales either for that matter.
