Work has been busy from the get go this year. Isn't the first week back in January supposed to be cruisey?

I've got a meeting for a new contractor position on Thursday where the $$ earning potential is very good so fingers crossed that goes well. I've got another business on the hook that wants to sign me up as well. Between them, I think I could make a decent enough living (with the added flexibility) so I can escape my hellhole workplace ASAP. This is the place that asked me to voluntarily leave last year. Coming back to it in the new year has been rougher than expected. I'm not invested in this job at all anymore, and faking/forcing it while waiting for the perfect role is super exhausting. I need out.
