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.To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional
Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
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.

If it wasn't for the customers & the employees, I'd love my job.

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

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.
