One more week at the Ministry of Funny Walks before jumping ship, and enjoying the feeling of seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Handover is almost complete and I have two leaving meals organised (thanks to Covid work-from-home patterns it’s difficult to get everyone in one place these days).
Apart from having to chase the pimps again it’s not actually been an onerous task locating a new contract, with two promising options warming up at the same time despite the poor timing approaching the Christmas lull.
I’ve decided to go back to my previous employer for a 4 month spell, which may seem like a backward step given how delighted I was to get out of there only 10 months ago. However I’m going in specifically to knock over some juicy projects we’d had on the “if only we had the resources” wishlist for a while. Plus great Manager, good colleagues, catered lunch, shorter commute and Christmas shutdown.
So providing I’m not spending half the day cabling up desks, replacing headsets or fielding complaints like “my keyboard is too flat” it’ll be a spell in safe harbour to help build up the confidence ahead of hitting a fresh place of work next year.
Assuming I don’t repeat the same trick and return to the Ministry of Funny Walks of course ….
