Well last straw moment at work today. Told a co-worker what I thought of them and walked out. I really can't stand stupid any more.
There does come that moment when the stupid is too much to bear. So what happens now?
I'll go back tomorrow. Put a one day holiday form in. Stick it out until the 2nd June when the job is done and then see what happens. In the mean time I'll be looking for another more local job. Unemployment in the UK is at it's lowest for decades and I have a CV to die for in the area I'll be looking in. They are building a huge extension to a white collar industrial estate I can walk to in 15 minutes so I'm not that worried.
Working closer to home is always nice. Good luck!
Thank you. Being able to walk to work would be ideal.

Sorry, got my grammar wrong, "Nil illigitimi carborundum." :D

Well, that both sucks and is excellent at the same time.  Good luck on finding something nearby -- would it be possible to work from home, or does that not apply to you?

I can work from home and have done so. So I can take it or leave it. I would like to pick up something I could walk to as I like leaving work at work if you see what I mean.

I've been selected to take part in a study to see the effects of treating psychosis with playing video games. I'll be paid $15/hr and earn up to $350 for the whole thing. There s a wait list that will come around to me at the end of May when they will assess me further.

That sounds like a fun job! Unless they try to mess with your mind by making you play video games with crazy flickering graphics or something. 😨

Or, what if you get stuck playing games you don't like or even hate for hours on end, like "Just Dance Disney Party'?
