Have a good Monday

Would you have begged god for that job if you didn't have to pay for your food and bills?

If you're in a position to do your job as a contractor, I highly recommend it! As a software developer, once I went from FTE to contract jobs I found that my whole outlook improved. Regularly finishing a job and starting another one avoided the usual staleness and burnout that come with FTE jobs. Everything stayed new. Six months to a year and you're out. As an added bonus, the people who hired me tended to listen to me a lot more. I don't know if it was because I was an outsider or because they were paying me more, but whatever, it felt like I got more respect from management. They didn't make me go to as many meetings - as if they actually didn't want to waste my time - imagine that! And yes, you get paid a LOT more - even factoring in the benefits and paid time off that go with FTE jobs. It turns out when you make almost twice as much you can afford your own insurance and time off, no problem. B-but what about job security? Oh, you mean the deal where they have a bad quarter and start laying people off LOL? My typical job search time was 2-3 weeks, and I rarely even started looking until I completely finished a job. Note: this abruptly and permanently became 2-3 months when I turned 50, so factor that in if your profession tends to be thought of as a younger person's game.

Damn dont I relate to this so much. God, please, just give me a remote job. Me a year later: thank you for calling

<company>

Because being unemployed feels even worse.

The trick is to never beg for jobs, beg for money.

It is indeed Monday, my dudes

fuck capitalism and fuck mondays

I hate how accurate this is for a job that I used to have.

I don't even work Mondays normally, but here I am.

The monkey paw curls.
