Serious overtime.
« on: 04 March 2013, 23:55 »
So, I'm cramming some serious overtime in at the moment due to the recent split with the mrs. I'd rather be at work than at home...

11-11 yesterday, 8-11 today. (Am to pm). Hoping to get a mortgage within the next 18 months, so that's my motivation. But damn, it's hard.

Anyone else doing silly shifts at work so I don't feel like its just me? Hah.

What do you do?

Overtime so to speak today was sorting some vans and an Audi A8 out in the normal working day then getting called out after hours to go put a mirror on a van (nicked it off my dads van as it was only a month old! get him a replacement tomorrow) that had just been in a fight with a lorry and desperately was needed to go to Birmingham.

Then attempting to sort a gearbox in a bought to sell Clio. I failed somewhat. I think it's the wrong box but I was shattered.

Then stupidly played football but I guess that's not overtime. :grin:

Where all my moneys went.

Golf MK3 1.6. Golf MK3 8v GTI.

I guess not. Heh.


I'm behind the scenes. I guess the best description of my role would be ... 'Improvement leader' for a broadcasting company. Overtime is great when its available, and at the moment it is. So I'm doing as much as possible.

Don't do too much unless your DIVORCE is settled... It could bite you on the arse if you earn too much money!!

Been doing long days last week on the mines. 5 hours driving to get to site then start at 4am and finish at 7pm for 3 days then a 7 hour drive back due to back weather.

Only done 2 hours today but off on site again tomorrow to Saturday, this ones only 3 hours drive away two long days and drive back on Saturday.

Some weeks Ive only worked 10 hours (paid 38) and others am working 80+ body clock is all over the place.
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

I don't get paid overtime, if I did I'd be a lot better off!
