What to do if you just started a contract and want out?
At my current gig, I replaced a contractor who'd decided he wanted out because he didn't like working away from home. I think he'd been there about a month, and the project is supposed to run to about the end of the year, but that worked for him as a get-out clause.
Of course if you live next-door-but-one to your client that particular line may not work for you, but the point is you can probably find something that sounds reasonable and allows you to make your excuses and leave while diplomatically avoiding the "This place sucks donkey balls, I'm off" approach
Yep, the homesick card can be played, but it does limit future gigs somewhat.
1. How do you know what Donkey Balls look like well enough to identify them on their own.
2. How well do you know NF?
Well I know him from here and I've met him and he looks the perfect well educated gentleman. You wouldn't imagine Donkey Balls are in his vocabulary so it's amusing to see him use it on here. It's like meeting TestMangler and then seeing him string a sentence on here that doesn't contain the F or C bomb.
And number 1?

He should really be more side on - mules kick when their balls are grabbed.
Incidentally, the best way to shag a sheep is at the edge of a cliff with their hooves in your wellies - it is all about the kick-back and traction.
