You work how many days a week??... 🤔🌳

@KateH
One good thing about this job, compared to say the building trade, is our old friend ‘job and knock’ which means that for many (most?) firms you get a job to do and if you finish the job early, you finish work early, down the pub or on the sofa or whatever you like.

 

This rewards guys who hit it hard for the first few hours, then cruise to the finish line.

 

I can’t remember the last late finish we’ve had.

If you’re self employed running your tree firm then ‘work’ never ends unless you shut up shop completely for a week or 2.

Many aim to be out working with a team or two at least 5 days a week,Saturday’s are often set aside for grinding odd stumps out by yourself,

And with these days of short daylight Sundays are quoting days,out n about  getting more work in , and heading towards your first million.

I don’t mind dicking around on a Sunday in the workshop, but I never talk to clients or do visits on Sunday.

With it being dark just after 4 every day now feels like a late finish?

4 is 5 here.

plus we’re a bit close to the equator so..

I’m not so sure putting the clocks back for winter is a good thing, I know it’s supposed to be safer for kids etc to go to school and work but they’ve forgot they have to get home as well?

I’ve worked 3 days a week for some time due to helping with young children. More recently I’ve started up in my own and earn more in 3 days than I ever did in 5. When the weans get older I might push it to 4 😅

Nice to see votes still coming in 😊

 

Not so nice to see the number of you working 7 days going up... but maybe that's @Mick Dempsey style and more are happy with that than aren't? I'll keep checking in... partly to share graphs as I'm excited I've remembered enough about excel to do them after all these years 😆 I clearly need to get out more! Kate
