And I don't know if you've ever noticed what trains are for.

Originally posted by Janes Rees View PostBecause of where I live, there's always a long commute.
Yes, I do stopover a couple of times a week sometimes but it still leaves me with 3 mornings a week where I have to be up with the lark.
I used to be more amenable to the full Mon-Fri stopover but, frankly, I find lonely hotel rooms somewhat soul destroying these days & I'm way too long in the tooth for shared accommodation.
Anyway, because of the way the industry had gone in recent years and because of the writing on the wall WRT IR35 etc I think I've convinced myself that I really need to get out of IT altogether.
Frankly it worries me how ppl in such situations solely rely on medication to "fix" them instead of looking at the source for their feelings.
If waking at 6 AM for 2.5h commute is making you anxious, stop doing it ffs, find a local job, or move home to where the jobs are.Comment

To the best of my knowledge I've never experienced it.

I’m of a different view to most on here. I actually think thank most clients are nice human beings. I’d suggest tell them what’s going on. If they bin the OPs friend then they’re top notch cnnts.
Chances are they’ll be too sh1t scared and will be supportive.
It’s not always about perm vs contract and sometimes about humans.See You Next TuesdayComment
