Well to solve this I'm giving myself an xmas present and resign in the morning. I have no other role yet but the job markets really good and I'm not desperate for money.
Wish me luck.
Not doing it any more.

If Hillary had used messages like this instead of that whole "highest, hardest glass ceiling" thing then she'd be president right now.

My mum had a breakdown in her 40s due to overwork for many years. Not letting it do me in.

Thinking more generally about the current situation, if you're looking for explanations for how Labour keeps managing to bounce back at elections, despite having gone crackers, then this is one of them: much of the nation is miserable. The employment stats may still be good, but they mask the fact that much work is insecure, low paid and involves slogging away in rotten conditions, and those doing it typically don't have the luxury of being able to afford to give it up and look for something better, nor the opportunity to do so.
My husband reminds me frequently that there's a lot of poverty out there. The current economic and social settlement has little to offer for many millions of people.
Next GE in June/July surely?
Good luck in your job hunt. I may well be joining you in resigning before the end of today. Unfortunately I would still have to work on for more than a month.
A great time for her to get such a big poll boost. Let’s hope she has “The Mo”.
Go Amy!
As a self employed person I find my boss a lot more self indulgent but I did 13 hours yesterday and will be doing about 12 today. I maybe need to have a word.
Boris in a Tory defence.
She also does well on the ridiculous name factor that is so important in America.
This is probably about 12-15k for most people, and it liberates you (from stress too) as you can freely say “fuck off” at any time to a job you hate whilst knowing you can cover all your bills and expenses for up to 6 months whilst you find that other new job.
Fuck off money. It’s great.
That’s why leads of 8-10% yield such modest gains.
I’m not sure how many people really understand this. You’d do better to just knock off 2-3% and think of the national leads as 4-7% instead for the purposes of marginals.
Life is too short to spend it doing a job that you hate. Some people cannot escape, but if you are in a position to be able to, then don't look back.

Not that any of the politicians are anywhere near competent enough to deal with such a result.
Buttigieg speaks well but he is very, very inexperienced. I certainly don't see a Bill Clinton (governor, head of the Democratic Governors Association, genuinely influential in policy development and innovation for years) or even an Obama in the field. It's disappointing when the incumbent is so vulnerable.
Some say that the LDs went too heavy on PM Swinson, but the Tories going so heavy on the clown cult of BoZo may have been a much bigger mistake. Hardly any other cabinet minister seems to have been on show, and virtually all the Tory stuff is about personalities rather than policy.
But, of course, it varies by person and region.
We’re into spin the roulette wheel territory, as far as I’m concerned, and I’ve bet accordingly.
I’m working on a new client for 2020, which may amuse some of you when I reveal it but I can’t discuss it yet.
Tories 310 seats
If you put £150 a month away for 5-6 years you can get this, but I wouldn’t advise it until you have a property etc.
My rather wide Tory seats projection of 315 to 370 has narrowed to 315 to 350.
Tory majority odds on favourite but a HP is still possible.
From a country point of view, a Tory majority led by a mendacious, disingenuous, cowardly, racist buffoon would be a disaster with the ensuing crazy hard Brexit.
Best of luck - I am sure plenty of companies are looking for someone like you.

and one focus of this election has been trying to get younger people to register (and hopefully vote).
