Oh, I wish. Part of the problem, of course, is that I can't (shouldn't) commit to anything permanent or long-term because I may have to take parental leave on a moment's notice, depending on when we get The Call about the adoption.
Of course, that itself would make a great "gotta go!" thing, but I also don't think it'll happen soon enough to keep me from going completely bonkers.
Nah. I already know pretty much everything there is to know about the company (what with M having worked there for 16 years) plus I've worked on this same team on and off for almost five years. I probably know it better than my boss does, actually. Which is part of the reason I'm frustrated. I shouldn't still be doing the same boring shit I did when I got my first contract there in 2007.
Maybe your teammate is going nucking futz with boredom too, and wouldn't mind a little more to do, if it were asked for? Maybe you could talk to her about it
( ... )
Well, I broke down and sent mail to my teammate, asking if I was missing something--if there was something more to our job than what I've been doing. So maybe that'll open the dialogue, and then we can both just go to the boss and say, "Hey, this is a 1-person job, and (Teammate) wants it. Sayonara."
I'm just glad I'm in a position where I don't actually need the work. The paychecks certainly make things easier, but it's not like we're in deep shit if I'm not getting paid. I'm more worried about my future job prospects than anything else; if I ditch this thing and don't get back to work until after the kid's in daycare, I'm looking at a really effed-up job search.
Of course, a miracle could happen and my book could get published, and I wouldn't have to care about this at all ... ;)
