to leave my job because it's really really boring but really really convenient and "perfect"

[boredtodeathatwork]

Im an agency worker on a long term contract. Im doing admin and I guess because I'm an agency worker they basically give me the crap jobs. Theres shit loads of paperwork to go through and copying and pasting from various spreadsheets and data input. It's fucking mind numbingly boring.

But the pay is good considering what I do, it's 5 mins round the corner, colleagues are fab, management really good, it's flexible, I can change my hours to suit around my family needs etc. It's perfect in every way in that sense. .

Aibu to leave or should I stay put. I am the main carer for the dc as dh earns a lot more and he works longer hours/ ft etc. I live in a crap northern town which just doesn't have any jobs- not talking professional level jobs- just jobs! I basically would struggle to find a job around the kids with such great flexibility. I don't know what to do!

It's sounds like the right place but the wring job? There is no harm in meeting with the manager and outlining you'd like to take on more responsibility etc. Unless you've got a burning desire to do a different job or retrain I wouldn't leave it.

I'm in the opposite situation. I love my job, it's interesting, rewarding and I feel valued. I don't like the hour long commute with no parking, unpaid overtime, rushing back stressed leaving late, working weekends and nights, feeling physically and mentally exhausted and run down due to juggling 2 preschool children and a demanding job. I'd like to keep the job but get a cleaner, personal chef and Nanny! Just have to win the lottery to fund!

Are you a nurse ? Fluffymullet
Yes I think I will speak to her after the summer break which I've asked to take a whole 6 weeks off! See what I mean. It's unpaid but they are soo flexible it's insane.
