I just woke up, thought what's the point of a wonderful summer if you really can't enjoy it, and quit my contract. In truth, I have been thinking of it lots, and whilst it is working from home 95/100%, I still can't really enjoy it, and was working too hard, on a project I didn't really care for. So, regardless, it's 6-10 weeks off with the kids, then I'll look, can't wait. All houses sold, so no more mortgages to pay, moving in August, so fook it, summer off with the kids it is.

Looks like you picked the right summer for it.

Im in contract until end of August then planning a few weeks off and then hol end september. So it looks like I'll be working through the heatwave. Looks like some long shift days too and the rate is v good (hopefully with increased rate of 1.5 for shifts)
Not ideal with new baby - would have been nice to stay home with her for a bit. BUT, warchest ain't that massive (although its OK). I know I wouldnt have enjoyed holiday knowing I'd be on the bench in october. At least this way, its a nice little earner, it can pay for holiday and then give me flexibility to chill for a month or two later.
Mind you think it would have been hard for me to knock back a WFH contract like that!!!!Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
