Oh. I'm not miserable. It's a matter of perspective. I'm paid regardless of the time put in. Thus, to make the best of it, I want to be the most efficient at my job and get the most done with the least amount of effort. That way, I can stay at home and post up witty comments to white girl's in red shirts that I drool over. Let's call this plan A.
If it doesn't work out and I'm let go, then I'll go contract and go back to the 40 hrs per week but in a better position for take home pay.
My current assignment is until December so I'll stick with plan A until then.
