    I am getting these strange urges

    I keep getting the urge to put my coat on, tell the MD I will be back in a fortnight, then go to the pub. Then ring the missus and tell her I am missing in action.
    Must be getting jaded or something

    Feel like doing a Reggie Perrin?

        Sounds to me like you're bored. Is your current project not engaging your little grey cells?
        I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

          Well it's true, I am bored. But I have been at it for nearly 20 months now without a break (for me). I have been on loads of holidays, but they are always for someone else, my type of break consists of what I said in the OP.

          So where exactly is your new gig ?

            I've been bored for years. Would I be here otherwise?

              EO I feel exactly the same. It's like I'm living this life for someone else - my family to be specific - but not for myself. Except that they don't appreciate what I do to keep them in this lifestyle that they want.

              Sometimes I just want to do a runner to have a break for a while!

              Or am I just an ungrateful father?

                So, take a few days off and spend it in a decent pub.
                I grew up in a pub - pubs are great

                  Nope - we all need a little ME time.

                    Took the extended family camping three times last summer.
