You work too hard...

Granted, I had a similar schedule this spring/summer with all the flooding and annual training, so I feel your pain.

Granted, you're probably getting OT and raking it in, while I still got paid the same... so :fu:

Then it sucks to be you!

3.5 day weekend, then a 1 (that's right fuckers ONE) day of work, then off for 6. All to prep for the wedding... and of course get some hunting in.

Oh I get ot. Otherwise they'd kiss my hine end. I earned my yearly base salary by end of june. But its killed my social and riding lives. I try not to concentrate on that so much, instead look at the $25k in debt I've paid off in 8 months.

Don't worry thought cutty, uncle sam is going to rake me over as well at this point.

I honestly don't know how you can live like that. You're a better man than me, I certainly couldn't and more importantly wouldn't work hours like that. It's not the way humans are meant to live.

It's the career man... But this year we are striving for more and better things. If we can get people trained and in place, next year should be awesome.

For now I just keep my head down, roll at pace, and think of all the money I can make. One bad social year is putting me years ahead finacially.

I get it gas... shit, the way things are right now, I work too much, and I don't even get paid overtime... if I could I'd work every damn day till Thanksgiving... if it ment I could pay off my debt then.

Gas Man · 09-04-2011, 05:13 PM

Thank you. I'm biting the bullet now, getting paid well to do so, look like the best team player I can at work, and next year will be sitting in a much better financially. I'm amazed at how many can't under stand it.

I will say this. I have to keep my mind on the positives and ignore the cobb webs forming on my bike and riding gear. Otherwise I'd go insane.

So to say I'm very much looking forward to riding the brp. Well that's an understatement of huge proportions.

I really don't care about money like that. I value my time off and my life more than cash. That's just me though. I get where you're coming from.

I'm with Marko. Time off is infinitely more valuable to me than being at work. I minimize my purchases and sacrifice comforts to make sure I can afford not working more than my 40.
