I suggest you see a doctor immediately

[EternalOptimist]

Yes.

I've hated every job I've ever done, apart from one contract which was fun until I started hating that too.

lucky is the man who enjoys his job, he never has to work a day in his life

I'm just not motivated by it anymore

Take a stopwatch to the bogs this afternoon and time yourself having a dump.
Then calculate how much that has cost your client.
You'll feel so much better afterwards, trust me.

Never did discover why there was a 2nd hand green condom in the back of one fruitmachine though.

As one of my sidelines I occasionally write music for fruit machines. Find the most bizarre things in those cabinets.

I relate to that.

Healthy attitude

hating anything with a keyboard.

Oh yeah.

The time is rapidly coming when you'll be begging for work, any work.

Has the string snapped on your 'The end is nigh' sandwich board sas?

OP - if your current gig makes you feel like this, then use your networks, use the dull time at the damn keyboard to land yourself an alternative offer, then either leave at the end of your contract or use the offer to bag yourself a hefty raise. I'd be tempted to leave. A change is as good as a holiday, they say...

If you can get that medically diagnosed then you should be able to claim for extra benefits for child care

oooh... i like your thinking

I was just going to post a new thread on this exact same topic. Have got the same feeling of "what's it all about?"

There's only one true answer/reply to this: stop messing around, get back billing.

I used to do that, it is fun, started saving all my dumps just for the clients bog, lovely.
