Good point ... just can't be arsed at this moment, I believe I need a bit of a break, haven't had a proper break (apart from the odd few days/week) for 10 years now.. perhaps after a few months off I will regain my tolerance...
On the other hand not sure there will be any roles for me after Brexit...

Throughout my career the tolerance (bending over) graph curve is similar to a standard deviation curve, when I was young and full of idealistic ideas, I had very little tolerance, then I started realising I wont be able to change the world, just do my job, smile and invoice... and now a downhill curve again of just not tolerating any bullsh$t at all...

The oldies around here, anyone went through this?? Is it a phase and I can develop my tolerance again??

Yeh with you on this. Can't be arsed these days....

Aaah, thanks for pointing out where is the poll button...
But I made a decision to resign ... well ummm.. then agreed to stay one and not renew as end of contract a couple of months away so if I resigned I would only have left a 3 weeks earlier !

Clearly, you should bend over.....then resign, just for your poll fail.
