Exit from hell is refused.

My last client just asked me back, after terminating my contract six weeks back.

They pay plenty. I'm out of work. So, rationally, I should take it. I'm not about to get all huffy and say fuck em.

But, I can't figure out why they want me back.

Is it that they want me to share the suffering? "You attempted to escape, mwah ha ha! Come back and SUCK SATAN'S COCK. Feel it's extra tangy taste - that's from giving to you in the ass again!!!"

It recalls to me what I didn't like about the place, which is that everyone who works there is kind of second rate. Make that third rate. By being there, I am lowering my game and it feels kind of cheapening.

It's a world famous blue chip but somehow it has ended up as one of those sick cultures full of blame and politics and crap floating to the top and mindless box ticking initiatives. I feel the will to leave leach out of me now.

Add to that, there are senior people there who don't like me and I don't like them. Add to that some of them are people who I didn't finish work for before I left (Give me 10 days notice and give me something to finish at the same time - I hope you weren't surprised it wasn't my top priority numbnuts!).

I confidently expect to be posting again with tales of vile woe.

On the positive side - I've had a great time sitting on my ass and looking after the kids, I hope to return to it sometime soon.
