    Default Short working week

    Let me start off by stating that I'm not whinging or complaining, just making an observation.
    My work hours at the big green shed have recently changed. I'm now working 1 - 9 Thursday, 7 - 5:30 Fri. & Sat. That gives me four and a half days off. You've got no idea how hard it is to get motivated to go to work on Thursday arvo.

    What could possibly go wrong.

    Work! Part of life.

    Most find it necessary but some find it enjoyable.






    Ok I will get back in my box.

    Work is that four letter word that we all utter at some time.

    In the days of eight hour shifts the old "arvo" shift was considered by some to be the best of the lot.

    Nowadays twelve hour shifts are the rule. 7 to 7 in my case. Long days and nights at work, but more days off.

    Yes I enjoy my work too.

    Which shed are at John? Maybe I should plan my visits where I need some assistance a little more closely. That way we can both get some satisfaction.
