    I'm wavering...

    ...and it is frankly pathetic. Wilmslow would be proud of my seeming inability to turn down work.

    The facts:

    1. I need a break. I look and feel worn out.
    2. My contract ends next week. I have agreed with my client contact that I am finishing up then.
    3. I want time-off with cocktails and massages.

    Today, two other managers here have approached me and one has offered me a permanent role and the other has offered me a 3-month contract.

    Flattered and delighted as I am, this makes it harder for me to roll-off and chill out for a bit.

    I need to decide tomorrow. I'm thinking of plumping for the 3-monther on the basis I get a 2-week break beforehand.

    I am disappointed by my own indecisiveness. Very disappointed. It's not like me. I think I need to get laid. PM me with offers.

    Take the permie role. It will make Wilmslow proud.

        you could always use the 3mths to save up and then have 4 wks away...
        I didn't say it was your ******* fault, I said I was blaming you!

          Does riding the fence make your eyes water?

          The 3-monther sounds good. Chill for 2 weeks and then start that one. Sounds perfect to me or am I missing something?

            Have a pot noodle and a wink to relax you before deciding.

              Extend the two weeks to a month and take the 3 monther.

                  Take the two weeks off, go to Koh Samui or somewhere equally as different to London as you can and come back and take the contract.
