Default Doing overtime and trying to stay awake without supplements

I worked my knackers off last week at work and managed to clock up 101 1/2 hours in one week without the aid of red bull, pro plus, etc ...must be fecking mad!!! ...but the pay was well worth it

Does anyone do silly amounts of overtime each week as I know I couldnt do that every week ......

I'm doing manual work + driving the the lorry (with the right rest periods (2driver shift at all times) and allowed carried weight of course) ..I'm doing Marquees at the moment and have just got in ..the pay is really good & I just cant knock it

Rich, you mean you'd like to think you work harder OR are you trying to say that one day you might be able to organise a piss up in a brewery? ..If so, I'm there

I lost a stone then put it back on I could do with a decent dieticean (sp) Not got time for beer neither

Maybe if you can't get back there could be a "Passionford Rescue Rouse" operation where someone could collect it or store it for you?

Nath, really pleased to hear you got out of the printing supplies business

I was in Germany last week, four days on site for a proof of concept, 5 hours sleep per night for four nights, got home at 23:00 on fri night.

I am now in amsterdam supervising a s/w upgrade overnight (started @ 2:00 am), flying back this afternoon.

I am then flying to france on friday am, 06:00 flight from stanstead.

Whoever said that jet setting was glamorous, I am positively fed up with it

You lot are crazy!!! I do my 37.5hrs a week office job - and I'm fooked!! And all i do all day is go on the net and mess about with computers!

I need to get some extra cash coming in so am thinking of helping my mates building firm out by doing a bit of labouring on the side!

"Yeah Si we have 6 ton of sand and cement need mixing"

"yeah fuck off! see ya!"
