I am, however, at least applying for other work now.
Good on you for sticking up for a conservation area. While building in them is necessary, they should at least make half an effort to make the new buildings sympathetic with the old ones. I'd be filled with middle class fury if they built an ugly steel and glass flat block where I live.

These new ones look horrid.
I am glad you're looking for work, nothing worse than being miserable 5 days out of 7

It's manageable, but requires determination and commitment. It's rewarding in it's own way but it *is* a decision you shouldn't go into lightly. HTH.

Or perhaps you advocate self-medication with a bottle of vodka, while staying in bed all weekend?

Initially I found the SSRIs didn't *do* much, and had my dose doubled. Then I found life was a bit better so knocked taking them on the head, as I kept forgetting to take them and found I didn't really need them, and was experiencing some side effect which were undesirable. I have started drinking more, and would definitely recommend that in pursuit of misery. Unfortunately I don't have the time at the moment to stay in bed all weekend, but it is something I am planning for in the not too distant future.

Ideally you shouldn't do that, but I'm a fucking maverick and play by my own rules.

I really can't stay where I am for much longer, though. It's doing me no good.

to use a clichè, it was like a weight off my shoulders, instantly perked up, realised how much of a grumpy prick i've been the last few weeks.
Are you going to see about an industry move, or just a different office?

I'm going for an industry shift with a two-pronged strategy. I'd like to get back into publishing, so I'm going for web content work as a halfway measure. The other prong is AV installation. Two areas that I have transferrable skills for without quite so much direct prick interaction.

fucking hell, mate, have you ever been in a mid-to-high end HiFi shop?

Since you're usually working in boardrooms and pulling out ceiling tiles, you pretty much get left alone.

inevitably it's getting dragged into urgent meetings and being screamed at to get it set up before the client arrives.

Also, any cunt that screams at me gets short fucking shrift.
