Cause for small celebration

A small sherry was in order today as I was offered a new contract. Same rate as before, but sounds a pleasant office and a bit of a change of scene, plus I can stay on our old boat for the odd night (when the weather gets better) Maintained my run of getting every job interviewed for so far (4) I quite like this contracting lark

Well done - one of the (it's not really a mistake) mistakes noobs make is to look at getting every job interviewed for as a KPI - are you being selective at all in what you go for or adopting a "as long as it brings in the money its OK attitude"?

Just been told by the agent she got me a higher rate than I asked for - good lass!

It is within a commute I can live with and I met the line manager ( yes I can call her a line manager as I am within IR35) who seemed very nice. Plus it is a bit of a change and wider experience in a nice area. You can never really tell of course, I might find it a hell hole but in that case I will leave. It's probably a bit different from IT.
