Boomed - hopefully

Verbally been offered a contract 60 miles from home!

I previously turned down an exension because they wanted to slash my rate to £100 less than the contract I got offered today. So had time off and found a better contract!

Things looking up!

Same time I got offered contract I got 4 interviews offered - Sod's law

Haha, nope!

But the rate is so good its worth the commute/staying over extra. It seems its nearly impossible to get a good rate in the Manchester area, which I still fail to understand?! You would think that like London the rates would be higher than surrounding areas. I had been offered interview for Manchester paying -125 what these guys have offered. So sod manchester!

And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014
