14 hour shifts

its a long time to hold a torch

agreed

my hand has gone numb!

Part timer.

Try 23 hr shifts - that's knackering, imo

no

that's just stupid

I do them regular,and i never get bored.

Only done two 14-hour shifts in my time. Both at time-and-a-half and with only one hour deducted for breaks. They're the only circumstances I'd do them under.

Dk i wud hav assumed u wer a tax dodger going by ur age!

I'm in the minority Bhoys! Only reason I've been here loads lately is 'cos I've just had a week off. Have been in constant employment since 16. Msut be a mug. ;)

Im the opposite. I have only had to jobs. Sacked from both! Lol. Its a l gud but alll my mates r on the dole!

what's happy shopper overtime paying like these days? ;)

Cheeky! :D

Not great!

What did you get the sack for, Bhoys?

Did 16 hour shifts Mon-Fri, then an 8 hour Saturday and a 4 hour Sunday for a long while a few years ago, but the tight**ts at the Inland Revenue never even sent me a xmas card.

I didnt really like mondays so i didnt go in a lot!

I bet you prefer, The Saturdays, tee hee. ;)

Summer 1998 - living in a tower block in Newham, east london
Winter 1998 - got our first house in Newham
Winter 2002- got our 2nd house in Newham
Spring 2005 - 4 bedroomed house in the country - mortgage free

When you gottta graft, you gotta graft, not sitting at a desk hitting a keyboard :)

(see the SPOT THE DIFFERENCE' thread)

It was worth it.

I like hitting the keyboard too much. :(

You did well Charlie. I don't know where the jobs are that let you put in big grafts. Don't think there are any where I live.

What's this, someone got a job?

Find a dodgy boss who's as big a thief as you are, and show him how it's done properly. :^0

i worked 16hr shifts mon-fri and 12hr one on sat/sun for over 20yrs. and i retired at the age of 43. thats the way to do it

gigilo ?

Why waste the best years of your life grafting all the hours god sends? Rather have free time in my 20's and 30's than 40's and beyond.

like my old man allways said to me, make hay while the sunshines.

ah,farmer then
