Okay, the post about depression got me thinking. I am needing to be in the office 5 days meaning early morning train and 4 nights in a hutch all week. It is a nice hutch in a military hotel with well behaved people in the bedrooms so a perfect sleep without any loutish hotel people which is very unusual for a city, but it is a lonely existence. My ‘life’ is office, which insists being on site every day while the permies who are local work from home loads. I take a regular gym class most evenings so the instructors know me, dine in the club restaurant every evening, then watch tv until time to sleep. It started out kind of nice chilling, but, the things I would like to do at home are not possible at present. The restaurant, reception and gym staff know me well, I am Alan Partridge.
There is an enforced two week Christmas break which I am for once very grateful to have.
I have had a look into Meet-Up but cannot see anything of interest. I am in central London which is a party place for youngsters. Maybe I should just get into the hotels bar and chat with people, but it would be good to get out and about – I end up just reverting to gym, meal, tv and sleep.
Has anyone else felt this way? The solution I know is to man up or change contracts, but I am committed to this one and want to see it through. It pays well, but maybe I need to factor in a Friday off once every 3-4 weeks. The kicker for me is the 4 nights way which cannot be changed which is frustrating.
