[News] End of Contract ... again

The Holy Grail, permanent work, remains elusive. I have good KSAs (Knowledge, Skills, Attitudes) but employers seem only interested in having me around for a few weeks ... maybe it's my deodorant / mouthwash / politics / religion ...

A couple of times it's been suggested I try out writing for a living. What do I live on in the meantime? Others have suggested getting a heavy-rigid licence and signing up to be a bus driver. That's tempting, and it may leave time to write. But it also means stepping into the twilight between an IT career and "something else."

So Monday it's climb back into the suit, catch the bus into town, and go door to door, employment agency to employment agency, saying, "Hey, remember me? I'm looking for a job (again.)"
