Had my employer recognized that and stepped in on my behalf, I would have considered staying on for a while.
I like being busy and doing interesting and challenging things, but enough of those things that if I do things properly I can get the important stuff done in 8 hours and stay mostly ahead of it.
I hate just falling further and further behind and not having the time to give things the proper attention.
But being busy and challenged makes the day go faster and keeps things interesting.
