Help?

[tzikeh]

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

[greywingnut.livejournal.com]

Based solely on the amount of verbiage for the "cons" versus the one "pro", I'd say stick to your guns. That's what I'd do if I were in your shoes.

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.
