Is there a causal link between TVR ownership and long hours of crust-making?
There might be a some minor linkage in there somewhere.
Actually my hours have more to do with the following:
Mrs Madmak wants a holiday
Mrs Madmak wants new furniture
"" """""" """" clothes
All the little Madmaks want SOMETHING ALL THE TIME!
Greedy Gordon Brown wants too much of what I slave to earn so he can waste it on idle feckless people who get in my way in their poxy japcrapboxes when I want to drive on MY roads!
I have investors who expect "improving shareholder value"
There's no one else as stupid as me!
I just spent a grand getting the arse end of my 400se rebuilt.
Home soon though, I hope!

Damn them indeed Carzee,
Don't these people have any notion of just how intrusive their unwelcome twitterings and constant demands are to a PHer of your standing?
Send them on their way with a clip round the ear and a copy of Olde Moores Almanack.

Just got back from work (finished about 8.45pm) - started about 8am. On the same subject what's the longest you've worked in one sitting. I've done 39 hours, that was a 7am start and a 10pm finish the following day, anyone sadder than that?
Amateur! Worked from 7am one Monday till 11pm Tues night – then one hours sleep in the office and then worked through until 8.00pm Thursday night.
Felt bad though for a week though, my teeth hurt like hell and you know what screen do to your eyes ...
Once fell asleep at about 4.30am in the office in my chair and woke up about 8.30am on the floor. Strange this was, couldn't remember getting out of the chair ...
Also, at the same time, had a print rep :ttdrivingfivebuttonsharpsuitedbastard:
come in and pick up a job left for hius attention. Spoke to him later and he said 'I stepped over you cos I didn't want to wake you'
Dan, is that your Cerb in Zertec's ad in Sprint?
Here late tho' cos I'm on holiday til Wednesday ...
And I thought I was a nutter Mike! Sounds very much like our workplace (a lunatic asylum), though sleeping on the floor while printers are collecting artwork - that's a new one.
Yep, advert in Sprint will be my Cerb, I sent Clive at Zertec a few pics after I had the conversion done and he emailed over a pdf of the advert before going to print. BTW, how do you get/subscribe to Sprint, is it for TVR Car Club members only?

I drive Lorries for a living (pittance!) and I work three 13 hour and two 15 hour days every week, and I leave for work on Sunday evening and get home at the earliest Friday evening, sometimes I'm out for three weeks, and just scrape a decent wage, but when you look at it, 69 hours is 2 weeks work in 1 week!
Hardly made any difference to the quality of the end product of course.
Did 8:00 am to 9:20 pm today, bit longer than my average which is normally 8:00 am to 6:30pm, only lunch on special occasions.
Do any of you lot bother with lunch? Apparantly the average lunch break in the UK is now down to 21mins.
Longest day was come back off holiday to be given a set of results I know nothing about to present to a client (always knackering those sort of meetings, thinking costantly is tiring), back at midday to find more results promised out day after so stayed till midnight doing that. Sounds pretty lightweight (not in the 4.5 sense) compared to you lot.
Top hates 1) working late on birthday 2) all the other buggers pissing of down the pub while you are still slaving.

Top hates: working till 8pm on something that "has to be done today, no matter how long it takes", only to find the tw*t who asked for it went home at 5 on the dot.

Ditto, happens far too often for my liking.
Also...Lack of common sense (contradiction in terms). i.e on a Thursday morning a client requests 70,000 leaflets to be designed, printed, mailsorted and posted to land on peoples doorsteps the following Tuesday, bearing in mind there was a Good Friday and Easter Monday in between. Huh

Not all in 1 sitting, but in 1 week only 18 hours off the job (in KL). Finish & go back to the hotel, have breakfast/get pissed
at 9am = funny looks from the waiters/go to bed/sleep 2 hours/get phone call "we need you to go to Hong Kong, the flight's in 2 hours" (airport 1 hour away from the city)/b*ll*x to that = row 
etc etc. All for no extra as we didn't get OT. Never again!Gassing Station | General Gassing [Archive] | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
