At 29 I had just bought my first house, and it needed work. A bit short of money so I got a boarder. Working full time and attending University part time. That wasn't enough, so I go a weekend job delivering Newspapers to agents. That was from around 12.30 AM to 4 AM.
Looking back It's a wonder I'm still alive. These days I'm doing well if I don't have a 2 or 3 hour grandpa nap.
I think workers have lost sight of how valuable they are. Our great-grandfathers were all, ‘Begging your pardon boss, but the lads have being having a bit of a chin-wag, and we’ve decided that eight hours is a full day’s work. We hope that’s all right, because if it isn’t, we’re going to burn this factory to the ground’.
Workers today are, ‘You work 50 hours last week? Ha! At my last job I put in 75 hours a week, you pussy.’
