I'd write a list. Come up with a strategy!

A strategy is holistic - it covers all the moving parts, which includes you, your mind and how it works, your preferences, age, responsibilities, expenses, dependents, what you are aiming for as well as external factors: the realities of this job (will you be made redundant because they see you are not busy?), freelancing (it's hard if it's your main source of income), the job market in your town, country and globally.

I'd write out some potential outcomes, bad and good and explore how you will feel about them.

And watch out for who owns the IP you create while you are moonlighting during your lunchbreak.
