Goodbye to slavery

[phantom]

After umpteen ( you don’t see that word very often ) years working as an IT technician, being sent all over the country side at short notice, being on call 24/7 blah blah blah today I told my boss I wanted to work three days a week as a workshop technician. After a full and frank discussion looks like I am getting what I asked for. Saying goodbye to the company car and a large proportion of my salary but saying hello to a less stressful life, working 8 til 5 and having an excuse to take the bike to work. Will probably help Sarah in her business 1 day, house husband the other day. Might even be able to sneak out for a ride while the rest of you slaves are toiling

awesome dude, stick it to the man, if you can afford to live off 3 or less days a week, why work the rest? go fishing!

Hey welcome back to a "LIFE" phantom, I played the same game a few years ago, except I dumped the job, travelled Oseas a few years then came back to a 5 day week of reasonably normal hours.. its a bummer dropping the Sal & Perks but hey,"lifes to short" as they say.. Yaaay, that 24/7 is just a lifestyle killer .. ENJOY....

From July 1st I am working Monday to Wednesday, the rest of the time I might help Sarah ( Ms phantom ) with her business, might go for a ride, might sit on my arse and read a book Incidentally , and quite seriously , if someone is interested in a job as an IT tech in Palmie ( come on now it's not that bad ) drop me a line as thay are looking to take on a full time person to take up the slack
