True but the money in this job is great and it is permanent. Other guys in the team have been doing it for years.

It seems like a dream gig in so many way... just not sure if it is for me.

But dont want to go back to the 9-5...just need a way to stay sane.

Can you get me a job there?

I thought you were stalking Lucy

Go back before you get in trouble

WTF?

I prefer them shaved.

Indeed and so say the majority

You just need to find another job you could combine with this one

Front desk at a brothel, pay ? fringe benefits

Been doing this for 4 years so far.

Only advice I can give is this:

1. Make sure you don't end up coding in your underwear everyday

2. Get out at lunchtimes and chat to as many cashiers as possible

3. Don't save all your gossip for clients - they'll think you have a problem and won't phone you again

4. Shut the office door every Friday evening and don't got back until Monday morning - don't erode the boundaries of work and play time

It's funny, there must be a million guys who give anything for your type of set up. What you need is a permie woman, they might drive you mad but at least it would keep you sane

You'll soon get over it when the money runs out.

I am working so that part is fine. Although job itself is unrewarding.

Miss informal social contact.

At the same time dont want to work in IT in an office again.

Oops, so you are. I really must learn to read the original post.

Yeah, I have Call Of Duty 4. But I want to get away from solo stuff...even though I have always been a fairly miserable git!

I play baseball a couple of times a week in the evening and do some volunteer bar work at a local community group once or twice a week.

Just miss the routine and social side.

Do you just get used to it?

How do you keep yourself sane while working from home?

Been doing this since January. Couldn't wait to see the back of the previous project in Belgium commuting and sitting in the office.

Always seen myself as a pretty independent bod...but jesus this is hard work.

Live on my own and single at the moment as well so I think that is a factor. I go out for lunch every day and try and do stuff in the evenings... but you can't always be bothered going out... but if you don't you kind of lose human contact.

I recommend purchasing a PlayStation 3 and playing Call Of Duty 4 online. I've lost entire weekends...
