No easy answer I'm afraid, but consider the following...You can massage you CV in terms of dates, but when you get you next contract the agency will almost definitely want a reference that cnfirms the exact start and end dates - so any attempt to turn five weeks into three months will be uncovered. They may care at this stage or they may not - but its a risk.The balance of money earned versus what you have to put up with, I'm afraid there is no one that can asnwer that but yourself. How much do you need the momney.Given your time off, I'd suggest that you tough it out as long as you can. A proper three months in the role would look fine on your CV. As you say - once you've handed in your notice, you can work 9-5 and ignmore any rude behaviour.Also - don't kid yourself that you can't look for another job at the same time. Surfing jobsites and submitting CV's can all be done in the evening. When agencies phone, talk for a few minutes and the arrange to call them back at a convenient moment. If you do get interviews, ask first if you can do them at 8am or after work, as you are on a very busy project. Once you;re on a months notice, you can interview whenever you like. You are running your own business - the client does not have the right to stop you leaving the building in order to find more work - you simply don't bill for that short time, or make the time up later.Good luck
