    Benched in T minus 3 weeks

    coming up to 4 years of contracting, benched for the first time in 3 years. I don't expect to find a contract between now and the new year so it looks I'll be chilling on the bench for a few weeks.

    keep that bench warm for me will you guys.

      If you worry about being benched you don't have enough war chest. I look forward to bench time as should everyone! More Plan B time!

        Do you mean that you don't expect to find a contract or that you are not looking for a contract before then?

                You're not benched unless you're looking for a gig and can't find one. Otherwise it's just a holiday

                  I am looking, but there is nothing worth going for at the moment and I doubt it will change until the new year. So I am technically benched, although I will be enjoying the time off....
