    Finally done it

    Permiedom was just damn boring, and when I asked my boss what the plans were over the next six months, he said "I don't know. What do you think?". Jokers.

    So, I handed in my notice. I think it surprised him

    Maybe a bit harsh to quit with four bank holidays coming up, but at least I'll get paid for them, and then it's Plans B and C for a bit, while I look for a new Plan A ..

    (of the 50-odd agents I've spoken to, only one has fished - "who will I be obtaining a reference from" is this a good sign??)

    If not, at least it's summer for when I sit in the garden

    Harsh but fair.

    They are busy at the moment as even though I'm in a contract I've been contacted every day by agents looking for someone to fill a contract.

    Then it will rain all summer.

            I'm going to be a contractor through the bank holiday period, then starting permie job the day after. Doh!
            Will work inside IR35. Or for food.
