Run my own Gas/plumbing and occassional Air conditioning buisness with my brother. AMBER MS CORGI Registered. Great work and always have to smile no matter how big the PRI*K is we are doing install/service etc..for. Service with a smile, sevicing and breakdown is great for the brain, keeps you on your toes. But install is great for getting stuck in and flat out.

I work 8-9hr shifts, Mon-Fri, but no set pattern. Some times early starts, sometimes late starts, tomorrow doing 2:00pm to 2:00am. No idea what I am working next week yet, they change every week which is a right bugga when trying to sort out child care! Usually get 3 days notice (which is also subject to change)

My job description states that I have to work "whatever hours needed to get the magazine out on time", or words to that effect. But the hours are as flexible as I want them to be.

Transmission Specialist for the Subaru World Rally Team (Prodrive). Contracted hours are 8.30am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday. However, here is the crunch, our contracts say we will work as many hours that are needed to complete whatever we are working on. This generally works out as an average across the whole year as an 8pm finish. That includes working weekends where necessary.
The icing on the cake is that all overtime is unpaid!!
