    Just asking, like.

          I would say

          I have been told that the new permie has been hired to replace me but when I mentioned my contract finished this month the team leader jumped and said he would speak to the big boss. Hopefully, this means I can get another renewal out of this and stash the cash ready for the bench.

              So let me get this straight - you've potentially got another year of cash coming in from a cushy number? And you don't think that warrants a kaboooooooomtastic ?

                No. Maximum contract extension is six months at a time, and this one doesn't run out until the summer.
