luckykaaI asked when they wanted me to finish. They'll decide on Friday. then they'll give me a week's notice if they don't want me any longer than that. So, looks like I'm working next week at least.
They might want to extend the contract. If they do then I am still taking the first week in February off. I am in a position to make this sort of demand now.
Will have to consider staying in London over the week if they do want to extend further. The 4 hours a day on a train is too tiring. Anyone know anyone less than 45 minutes from London (including walking distance) who has a spare room for short term rent?
Also: Based on a conversation I had yesterday, it seems unlikely that I might ever work in the games industry again. an agent called me up. I mentioned my daily rate (which is actually pretty low for a C++ contractor), and he made a whistling noise. OTOH, looking at job ads, there seems to be space for those with games experience in financial software, starting at £300 a day. Which sounds potentially promising.
