I fancy taking the summer off

[Old Hack]

I've really been struggling to be motivated at the role I started earlier this year. One of the BA's is a tit, the project is not really being run that well, and it will get canned; I just don't really want to be there to be honest.

But the rate is magic, they've said, regardless, I will be there until September at least and I am allowed to work from home 2/3 days a week.

But I can't shift the abject laziness I get when in work, it's as though I am willing them to let me go. I have never, ever had this before, and am wondering should I simply quit and avoid being let go (never happened to me before), spend the summer on the bench, or milk it until they do let me go, for I can't believe my performance will not have been noted, or rather the lack of it.

I've started drinking too, which can't be a good sign.

Anyone else had this in a role? I feel depressed there...

I thought you were a farmer now?

[Ketchup]

Could it be your mind is preoccupied with the farm purchase and the project you are on is taking a back seat?

Every second of every fookin day... only positive is that I work from home 4 out of 5 days

I don't know what it is, but that's a good start.

I'll not be a fermier, as such, for a good few years, as the idea is to be mortgage free, with a small income from a couple or three flats. We're going to be mortgage free come September, but still need the income to buy a few flats, so that's going to take a little while. Until then, we'll be smallholders, selling to local restaurants and people I think, mainly ducks, but Turkeys in season (very, very, very easy money are the turkey...).

Would you be able to negotiate a part time contract with current client. I like to try to work two or three days per week over the summer.

Yes leave.
Give them a (voluntary) 1 month's notice, and get out.
Assuming you are financially OK, which you seem to be, no contract is worth more than your physical (drinking) or mental (feeling depressed) health. Especially if this is the first time you've felt this way about a contract.

They said that?

WHS.

You need the summer off. It's going to be a scorcher!

Enjoy life!

I'd walk right now from my place if not for the massive carrot that is dangling at the end of November. The bastards know my weakness!

This is the way I am leaning...
