    Just boring Admin crap... but our company works 7 days a week, because we deal with property investments and sales and so most of our clients can only see us on weekends or evenings (because they need to work full time to afford our property).

    lol so yeah if you get some annoying telemarketing call inviting you to a presentation with a free gift... thats proberly the company I work for

    *works every Saturday and has done so for the last 2 years...*

    *forgot what its like to have a 2 day weekend*
    I'm not a complete idiot... some pieces are missing

    Get another job if you don't like it, plenty of work out there. I struggle to find good staff

    Yeah I could get another job... but the reason why I stay is that I've been here nearly 3 years, my hours are flexible (can work as much as I like up to 60 hour per week and as little as I like down to as little as 45 hours per week). I've been working crazy hours since I started working 4 years ago... Always only ever had one day off a week at the best, I've had times when I've worked 21 days on and 1 day off then back to 21 days... But it's ok... I like money so working isn't usually a problem... just makes me a bit sad in summer and on days when the weather is perfect for riding... and I only have access to the internet from work so at least when I'm bored (which is most of the time) I come on here and post a lot lol

    Work sucks

    I worked like a slave for thirteen hours yesterday, man it sucks. Contractors such as myself don't get to choose our hours too much. We do the job as soon as we can, and the faster you go, the higher the hourly rate, ($50hr) yesterday, but when we take on a job that is not what we expect, mister hourly rate goes through the floor, (16hr) last week. Makes budgeting a bitch!
    Two day weekend this time round, very rare , and very good!
