I'm at work and bored/irritated. I'm on day 3 of 7 day stint with no days off until Monday next week.

How are all of you doing?

Finishing my last beer and hitting the hay in a few......... :cheers:

Hang in there, Don. I played that game (6-7 day work weeks and being on call 24 hours) for 30 years.

I'm very happy to be a lowly 40 hour a week guy with the 6 major holidays off now. :)

And I'm even happier to be a zero hours a week guy... One of the few benefits of getting old. :D
 
In my old job I ran the warehouse, and I was known for doing up to 14 days straight, mainly when we were doing stocktakes. I left there when we moved north, and it took 18 months to get a new job, but I'm much happier now, I'm bottom rung of the ladder, and the pay is almost the same. I think the longer you're in a job the more pay seems to go backwards.

I'm home today, we have bad flooding, and the one road still open to get me to work is next a river that's still rising. I decided to stay home, rather than hope I could get back home after work.

Hang in there, we all have days like these.

Certainly know how that feels, it can make you very resentful.

I scaled back a little at the end of 2020, going from 6.5 days a week to just 6. :doh: I was burnt out after dealing with a particular customer for near 15 years, I was so overbooked that I was never able to do things for myself. I also went near two years without a vacation.

Hang in there and reach out if you need.
 
I Am a 40 hrs a week guy for 5 days. They can take there ot and shove it.

Are your employer with sense of humor?? Is that going to be an "ahhhh gotchya April Fools!!!".....

That's according to PERS, NOT my employer, so yes, April Fools Day 2023 is the actual date I am eligible to retire. And you better believe that after that date, I will be retired.
