( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Well, I won't say I lived your life.

I had a brain dead job on a more or less permanent contract, that paid outrageously. I didn't get to work from home but I did get to walk to work, which is almost as good, and the money more than made up for the pointlessness of the work. It was generally accepted that the contract would continue indefinitely, but like so many unexpected turns in life, the company decided to axe all contractors with 30 days notice (no exceptions). My debt load was well beyond 'reasonable' and after 6 years contracting in the same position, my work skills had stagnated into very specific and locally un-marketable areas of expertise. I would have, should have, done many things different and I'm still paying for the loss.

It sounds to me like you have the financial and personal freedom to do what ever the heck you want. Complaining about what you don't like does nothing but steal valuable time away from those freedoms. Life's short. If you can live on nothing at all then by all means quit. But if you can't live without the money then stop obsessing over the crappy job and just keep pushing the button. Nobody likes to hear the guy driving the Porshe go on about how much his job sucks.

Oh, and if you really think an OSS project will do you some good send me a pm. I need help on my project, and you obviously need something to fill up the spare time you've been wasting hating your job.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
