I am a week into my extension and I feel like leaving. The last project I worked on was fairly OK albeit with tight deadlines. The thing I am working on now is a soul detroyer, no spec not using any of my core skills and utterly boring. The upsides are I got a rate increase and it's close to home, and its for 6 months. I will probably have to wor on this and another similar horrible project thw whole 6 months though. Should I stay or should I go now?

If you stay it will be double.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.' -

Could be worse. Could have had no rate increase, and been stuck a 80 mile commute each way from home.And the lord said unto John; "come forth and receive eternal life." But John came fifth and won a toaster.Comment
