That sucks.  What do you do?

On my days off at the minute, I'm sorting out the house trying to get all the little jobs done and the nursary fininshed.  Got a little bit of filling to do (which I'll do in a few minutes as I'm working from home today) and then just got some painting to go before getting the house back together again.

Only working four day weeks at the minute (but still about 40-50 hour weeks  :()

i work at the bbc looking after the mpeg compression of all the channels before they go off to digital terrestrial transmitters and Sky TV satellites. All that stuff im packing is band merch sold from our online store.

I usually work 20-50 hours a week. but when i do nights i do 10 shifts 9 days in a row.

The best thing about being self employed is getting to chose which 90 hours per week you work!

When we had a lot of oilseed rape and wheat a few years ago, I was doing 18hr days for a fortnight, mixed in with one 22hr day. That was hard!

I do 56 hours in a week if I work on a Saturday morning, 50 for 5 days. Driving trucks, you get used to it but I wouldn't say its easy. I do have a guitar in my cab though!

Off work is all I've been doing for the last 7 weeks and I play my guitars until my hands hurt or need to eat.

Anyway I'm back at work next week.

im lucky. i watch TV while im in work.
but what spurred me on to get a job like that was my dad being a welder, working 12 hours a day, 6 days a week for years. and he always said to me, try your best and dont get stuck in a dead end job.
he also said to remember its not just the notes, but what's in between that counts.
he played harmonica, and got me my first harmonica when i was 5 i guess, too bad i never kept it up! a REAL blues man.
