3 strikes and you're out

 I've been off work for over two months now but things have been picking up over the past couple of weeks.  In fact I was at the final stage of 3 roles, this morning I found out that that I didn't get any of them the last of which was my preference.  2 were apparently very close and a third was given to someone for £300/d cheaper!  Now back to the drawing board.

Market's picking up

 The contracting market has started to pick up over that past couple of weeks.  After today I will have had my 6th interview.  A couple of those were on the speculative side where the company is not yet ready to progress.  The next 3 went well and i'm at the second and final stage of one of them today.  Hopefully there should be some good news regarding employment early next week.

As much fun as it sounds, 2 months is far too long to be out of work.  It's so bloody boring.

Still unemployed

 It's been 4 weeks without a contract.  This will be the longest i've been out of work since I started contracting 5 and a half years ago.

I've had a couple of interviews during the 4 weeks but nothing has come out of it.  I've had a couple of leads this week but no sign of an interview yet.

One more day

One more day in my current position.  I have to say that i've really enjoyed it.  It's a good company and would certainly work for them again.

Now to find some more work.
