    How's the bench these days?

    Another contract draws to a close. A very unexpected and very early close, too. Bum.

    How's the market?

    Do I need to worry the public sector is laying off thousands? And that the private sector is laying off thousands? And that records are being broken in unemployment? And that even JobStats seems to have died a death?

    Is it as doomy and gloomy out there as my empty jobs inbox appears?

      Our government is working on this very issue as we speak, so it might be worth seeking employment outside IT.

        RC might be in a better place as he's just coming out of a contract.

              RC

              Hopefully this time on the bench won't be as long as the last one.
              Or is this going to be a start to an epic thread ?

                Just think how every time I see this message, my hand slips inside my dressing gown and I have a little rub.



                Every reply you make just makes me harder.

                  That'll be up to the market.

                  But this time I'm going up the Job Centre on day one.

                    You're looking well anyway RC, if your avatar is up to date. Have you been working out?
