It’s not necessarily the same shite in a different place, especially if you’re contracting. At least, I find the shite more interesting as a freelancer, and when someone casually asks you to do an extra load of something like data entry, you can respond “Sure! That’ll take [this much time] on top of what we agreed and it’ll cost [discouragingly high amount]” 😀

I’ve fired two clients in six years, both nightmares but not so bad I couldn’t wait until the work was done.
