    Last week was my first full week back at work after recovering from this weird cold / flue that’s going around.

    You know… after almost 30 years working for the same company (in different roles), I’m not sure I want to stay there any more.

    No similar jobs nearby - or they’re paying 50% less… but… I’m just not feeling like dealing with the daily crap anymore.

    It’s a bit unsettling…

      Damn mate 30 years is a hell of a shift! Would contracting be an option in your line of work?

        You know…

        I’ve just deleted the “no, that won’t work” response I started writing… I still don’t think I’d actually do it, but, you’ve got me thinking about it now.

        Triple my income, no office politics, just rake it in until I retire… hmmm…

          Well seeing as I gave you the idea, I think it’s only fair that I take some commission from your income… let’s say… 50%?

            <insert Monty Python sketch about haggling>

            As a contractor, I’d be paying myself minimum wage and everything else would be “tax efficient”, so that’s what, ~£12 soon… so… you’d be better off if I bought you a pint 😉
