hackerguitarJob change after the end of next week. Leaving here 3/23.
The work has been genuinely interesting. There was, however, far too much of it - I could not call my time my own, whether in office or out, and that included significant numbers of calls and demands on my time during vacations and medical time as well as 'normal' evenings and weekends. So I'm contracting, which is higher risk but which should move a bit more towards work-life balance.
Scary. But I'm losing myself here - there's no way to engage in sustained personal activity, as the risk of phone interruption is constant.
I like the work, and I'm good at it. But as the business is deeply understaffed and underresourced, there's no escape. And I need time for personal pursuits as well as paying the mortgage....
