You know you're working too hard

Post by J Y Kelly » Wed Sep 14, 2011 6:53 pm

When you had to switch the office alarm off when you got in this morning, and on again tonight.


Ah well.

Well spotted Tezzington, rather you than Bradders (in so many ways)

Duly edited.

To be fair it's much better than my last job - only the second time I've missed the kids' bedtime in a couple of months, so it's no hardship really.

Pays the bills anyway. If I was a bit cleverer I might be able to work out how to stay at home all day on my backside and let some other poor sod pay for it, but I don't think I'll ever be quite that clever.

and if its like Ireland, get the state to pay for your house, your healthcare, allowances for your children etc.
I guess after changing jobs you missed out on holidays ?

Nope, and I get an extra day with the new job, so that's OK - 26 days plus 8 Bank Holidays - works out at about 7 working weeks, so I'm happy enough with that.
