Help?
I need advice.
My manager came to me today and pretty much begged me to work one more week. I told her flat-out no. She then offered to pay me a full week's salary for doing bare-bones work updating the schedules and index pages, which I can do from home.
Cons: Still working after I'd planned on not working. Interfering with plan of lazing about (will have to get up and do about 2 hours of work every morning). Makes me ... vaguely weird because I *know* I'll be checking my email to see if there's other work I need to do.
Pros: One more full week's pay for 2 hours of work per day.
Thoughts?

Verbiage
However, if you can set things up so you do these updates on your own time (they'd still be getting the updates done in a relatively timely fashion if you rolled out of bed around noon and did the work), and can keep yourself from checking work e-mail, it might be worth the extra week's pay.
In the end, though, I'd say you have to go with your first impulse.
