Not preaching or nothing as we all pretty much despise having to work, but please enjoy what you do. As i mentioned a few posts ago me and all my workmates were expecting a weeks pay last thursday morning. It didnt happen. Then we were all stood down by mid morning the same day with no entitlements. We now running picket line out the front 24/7. Not a nice feeling not knowing where the next $1 is gonna come from. Cheers to all.

This is a hard one for me to answer. I work in a remote location in a mine where I work 8 days on/ 6 off. In the 8 days that I am on, I work 88 hours ( 8 hours the first and last day, 12 hours on days 2-7). Then I get 6 off where I do nothing but hookers and hash!
Just kidding but I don't work during those 6 days, I play golf and ride my motorbike.

I suppose I could work out the average!

That would be 44 hours a week. :

i work 60 per week as a panel beater and i enjoy it, but i could work as much as i want all cash over time but there is a limit as to when my body and mind stop working, all you guys that do 70 plus can you honestly say you are being effecient or are you just putting in the hours??
