    Extension Horror

    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 go there will be trouble.

    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.

                If it was fun they wouldnt pay you and it wouldnt be called work. Cue someone who says they always have fun at work.

                  Its fun going to current clientco. I could easily write a book on the dysfunctionality of this place and the joy of not being subjected to the hr side makes it pure entertainment.
                  merely at clientco for the entertainment
