Guest Macnas Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 You've lots of time for your family and your sport, if you think about it and find that it balances out even with your job, then put up with it. I'd have a hard time getting a job as good as the one I have, so I stick with it. I've gone beyond the "I'm sick of it" phase, now I just get my day done and feck off home as soon as the whistle blows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I was in full time employment, once I'd had enough, that was it, "lick 'em and stick 'em!". I was gone. These days after being "retired" after an industrial incident (for want of a better word), I work for nobody but me. I also work hard and play hard as and when it suits me and mine.............Al Quote Link to post Share on other sites
