" Work to live guys "

Not " Live to Work "  [whistle]

I'm changing jobs soon - currently doing a 100 mile one way commute from Wycombe to Coventry Mon - Fri 08:00 till 17:30 so means getting out ofthe house at 07:00 and then back in at 19:00 .

Nice thing is getting all weekend off ( would say " to myself " but that NEVER happens  [whistle] )

Changing companies as I will only need to be in the office 2 days a week ( will have to drive to Bedford though ) and will get away with 3 days working from home  :headbang:

Roughly 7am through 7pm weekdays, but never on the weekend

The weekend is for biking and drinking and forgetting about the weekdays

well it's now 2.5 hours a day in the car for me and a 9 hour working day for me so 11.5 x 5  = 57.5 hour week and then prob about 5 hours work at home so 62 hours including travel, far too many and plenty of stress but it pays for my 10R and the bills etc so it continues. Must admit that I do plan for dropping back in 5 years or so or maybe sooner to something with less travelling and less stress to get some life back  :icon_thumright:
