Work A Holic

[dan494]

I only work 6 hour days 3-4 hours at weekends. I do the school run both ends of the day and I'm with them till bedtime. So it's not like I don't see them probably more than most dads see their kids. I see a lot more of them than I saw of my dad!

 

 

I was told once that one day you'll put your child down for the last time, tickle them for the last time etc.. and you'll never know it was the last time. That's stuck with me so it's top priority to spend the time making memories while I can. I can count on one hand the number of weekends I've worked in the last four years (apart from some pricing)

Good shout Dan.

Life is too short.

I spent yesterday with the twins up the woods, poking horseshit with sticks and everything.

You can't buy that.

Poking horseshit with sticks is the business !

[Mark Bolam]

It's cheap as well.

WORK

 

(Unknown)

 

 

 

If you work and do your best

 

You'll get the sack like all the rest

 

But if you laze and sod about

 

You'll live to see the job right out

 

The work is hard, the pay is small

 

So take your time, and sod them all

 

'Cos when you're dead, you'll be forgot

 

So don't try doing the bleeding lot

 

Or on your tombstone neatly lacquered

 

These three words....

 

Just Bleeding Knackered

I always take Sundays off. Working 7 days a week will do you in.

Exactly right, we spent last week in a caravan in Yarmouth and same in May in Dorset. Will aim to go again this year. Gonna take either half day or all day off Friday purely because my 4 year old is leaving his nursery to start proper school so they're doing a little sing song assembly. That's worth more than money

I run older gear, earn a little less but all the flashy new gear can wait until they're out with their mates or coming in to earn a bit on the school holidays

You can't get pics like this at the top of someone's manky conifer!

Mine are past that stage now 10 and 12. I took 5 years off to be with them from babies. Quiet time coming up as work is always quiet in summer holidays busy for October and November then quiet again until March.

Family time is nice but still need to pay bills.

Surely if you enjoy your work it's the same as someone having the occasional holiday, as long as you're happy do what you want.
