Work or No Work

By the end of last month my contract ended and I was again in the situation to find a new contracting gig. Even though this is not something special it is still a volatile situation because I don't know how long it takes to find another one and how it will affect my job and also my family. Especially now as we have a newborn at home. After a few days I got a new gig in Manhatten Beach which is a short term but intense Mr. Fix It projects for a failing JBoss installation and soon this project will be over.

This also means that I am back on square one looking for another gig. The difficult part of looking for a contracting gig is to decide what rate to accept and when to call it a quite when nothing comes in. Many people are asking me if I would be interested in a full time position and I normally say no or I would be interested if it is an offer I can't refuse but I am still a contractor so far.

Well, time will tell what my next gig will be. I like the challenges of a Mr. Fix It drill but it is not working out if it is only for a few days even if I make more money.

Have fun - Andy
