How do you deal with full time work?

[J0Al1]

I find work OK, it is better than no money and being stuck at home every day.

If I fit all the things I want to do for me and my son on top of work and the general never ending jobs then I feel like shit..... run down, exhausted and then just need time out. Like now.. I am shattered.

Then I need loads of sleep to function...

I guess looking at it from the flipside, I'm much more mentally healthier than I would be if I didn't work, i'm more confident and sociable and have picked up all sorts of certificates and experience.

I'm trying now to look at my job as a portfolio rather than a time sink, the more and varied the work I do, the stronger my portfolio, the more experience the better.

So now i'm doing COSHH work (le sigh)
All the more knowledge for me to take over the world with

Mwahaha
I'm pretty happy today, considering it's a monday

I suppose I could have gone down the other route, I was on the dole for a good 6 months, but I was looking for work, unlike some of the cunts that turned up to interviews from the job centre too
One guy said "I'm just 'ere to make the job centre 'appy innit"

I dunno how people can live and be so scummy, are they so utterly unaware of how the come across or do they really really not give any shits, probably both

I hated being on the dole and I hope I never have to go back there.

See I dont like sleeping, on saturdays i'll be up till 3am simply because its the only day while I can; sleeping feels like a waste of time to me. But to be productive at work I have to be well rested, yeah motherfuckers you heard what I just said.

One moooore thing, gotta be thankful for my parents, I may have raged as a little twatish teenager, but if they were not so forceful with me I wouldn't have done anything ever. They had to make it so I didn't have a choice for me to bother. My stepdad got me my first job in a bakery...then I got 'let go'

I love what I do, so can't complain.

I can turn my hand to anything reasonable so lucky I also have a 'must work to get self presents' attitude.

I work 70 hour weeks doing a fucking awesome job. Having literally no time to do housework is a pain in the arse. (150 mile commute every day too)

40 hours a week leaves me just enough free time to get bored which means I need toys. Toys need overtime. It's a vicious circle.

[WannaBeDude]

75 miles ? NOWHERE nearer than cov ffs !!

i might sound stupid, but:

i worked in BHS sorting out deliveries in the morning, it was a part time christmas job. contracted for 20 hours per week.

second week in we'd been getting deliveries of 20 cages a day, no biggie, especially when 5 are taken up by huge cieling lights, one full of wierd teddy bear things and then boxes of stuff like bed clothes and w/e (i was in the "home" department".)

anyway, second week in i get wind of an upcoming "test" and the next day i walk in and find 40 cages sitting on the shop floor waiting to be sorted. so im like "meh" and cracks on with it thinking nothing of it.

i get it sorted in my 8 hours as i was asked to work another 4 hour shift.

boss lady comes down and says, impressive, how about 40 hours a week and this on a daily basis?

again, im like "meh" and aggreed.

think is, the contract ended and they let me go.

now i look back at it and i realise, i actually enjoyed it. it was my job, my responcibility to make sure the department was stocked, clear of cages and the stockroom was my domain. i didnt have to answer to anyone, worked at my own pace and really enjoyed it.

god i wish i could get that job back.

you just have tofind a way to enjoy the work you do

Did it for about 7 years working 21 shifts and doing regular overtime, was good in the beginning till you realise how much of a cunt the bosses/arse kissers are.

Self employed now and far happier, fuck working for some twat for a pittance.

Fark it, all these rules.

We just ask someone what salary he wants. There then is a standard engineering council formula to convert charge out rates to salary. He must be able to charge a rate comparable to the salary he wants. Then the number of hours that must be charged out are determined to cover a person's salary and overheads. The more you earn, the more overhead you pay, and the higher the rate you must charge, so you must have the skills and abilities to match the salary.

So if you are a well known specialist, you charge a high rate, get high salary, and work only a certain number of hours. Anyhting more is profit, which you get a share.

Fark all these welfare state, tame house cat rules to molly coddle people.

No welfare here, no dole, no council housing, no food stamps, no national health service nadda. So get a skill to get a reasonable wage, and produce the goods, or no one wants to hear your whining.

Interesting, do they teach you that in the white schools?

Just because Ghandi allegedly treated people as unequal doesn't make it right though...

You get fed a version of history to suit your master's purposes as do we.
