Yay, I jacked it

[EternalOptimist]

Been working for small firm near Hale for 18 months now, and they couldnt really afford me. Project so badly run that I was operating at 20%.
I felt so guilty and unprofessional, it was making my life a misery. Getting complacent, working near home,losing my edge. etc etc

So I have been plotting. I got the two permies up to speed, then told them a year ago they didnt need me. Yesterday, I reminded them and said 'look you REALLY dont need me'

they said oki

For the first time in over a year I can really enjoy my ten pints and a chille con carne tonight

blissssss


in my next gig, I might be able to have a proper sh i te at work

Sounds like the result you were after, so congrats are in order

Weird! I'd never talk myself out of a job especially in the current market.

Im pissed off with a 160 mile a day commute (used to be 4 days a week but the poor management need me to make it 5 days a week for the next month) but I dont want a role thats further from home, more hours and less pay so I'll stick with it thank you.

Each to their own.

If it makes you happy, that's what counts.

I'll order another chill-box to go beside the bench to hold the extra beers we'll need to have in for you.

If I put these pizza boxes in the bin that should make room.

Well done EO.

Jobmarket is picking up fast - anyway if I were you Id just enjoy the rest of the Summer sans working - rates are whooshing up and by the Fall - we'll all live happily ever after.

Whatever you do - good luck !

merci Alfred.
I have this pipe dream. If the guy wants me so bad, he might pay a retainer and I can bum around for a year.
20k would do it for me.
