Classic willy waving thread!
Before I retired, I was more interested in taking jobs that interested me, were what I wanted to do while having the time off between contracts, also doing what I wanted to do.
Hitting some magical 240+ billable days was never a priority for me.I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!Comment

Of course it's a [insert gential of your choice] waving exercise. The calendar year billables means nothing as my financial year is August to July.Comment

part timers
I've got to about 285 by end of the year.
Been really busy, but fun. And quite a bit of double billing mulltiple clients for the same timeSee You Next TuesdayComment

I voluntarily left two horrible gigs in a row, spent 2 months on the contractor scrapyard then came back to score the best rate of my career.
It's been mixed, but on the whole, worth doing. And at least I COULD take that time off without really hitting the skids.
So all in all, 10 months ish billed out of 12? At least 190 days I reckonLast edited by PerfectStorm; 16 December 2019, 15:00.⭐️ Gold Star ContractorComment

218 days this year, although I deliberately took December off and a week for holiday earlier in the year. Had agreed to a 3 month extension from Jan-end of March but unfortunately client has decided to can the project so will not be going back. Company reserves back into the 6 figures though so not too worried right now.Comment
