    ... a necessary pain but it is:

    * easier to protect yourself from bastard emloyers
    * easier to provide for your family reliably and still have time for them
    * harder but more rewarding

    I just lasted ONE day in a perm job before I walked.

            I'd rather you got over the poor spelling and grammar thing. That's far more annoying.

              Why is "going permie" the only alternative? What about our Plan Bs? I don't plan to stay contracting for ever, but I won't go permie <*spit*> if I can possibly help it.

                Yes I agree that going permie is not the only alternative, although I'm still looking for a plan b (what else can a toy Dalek to do) Any suggestions? Would be interesting to hear about some forum contributors plan B's

                    My mortgage and car will be paid off by dec this year so I am planning to go and work in the Maldives as a surfing/windsurfing instructor. Food and acomm. is free and I get paid £80 week. Quite a drop in salary, but at least I won't have to take the tube everyday!
