    I work week days and whenever I'm paid to do so - I'm self employed so appreciate any work that comes my way... that and I charge more for anti-social hours.

    Sorry. But.

    I work in a school
    39 week so 13 weeks holiday.
    8.30 to 4.00
    NEVER at weekends.

    My problem is I'm institutionalised, the thought of working weekends or only 5 weeks holiday just feaks me out. Even though I could earn +10k by getting a real job.

    I'm just lazy.
    And proud of it.

    Worked 8 hours today without a single break, after only 4 hours sleep and nothing to eat. I feel like a zombie. Pay wasn't even that good either, only 1.3x normal pay :(

    I've not worked a Sunday in 10 years!
    But if I my appeal through and get the job I want, then I'll probably have to do 12 hour shifts every one in 3 or 4.

    Too right working on Sundays should be banned. I enjoy having the weekends off, because it allows me the opportunity to go to the store and buy things...from people......who have to work.

    Ooh.

    Just a day like any other. Bit busier. Few more appointments. Get a day off in the week. Doesn't bother me!

    Wow...if I have to go in on a sunday for either of my jobs (both are cinemas) it's just normal pay :grr: We get double pay 3 or 4 bank holidays a year + Christmas eve and New Years eve, that's it.

    I worked half ten to midnight on Friday without any sleep (Wire Season 2 Cheesecake), Monster's the only way dude. And a tasty burrito somewheres in the middle...

    I used to work 68 hours a week but now 37.5 with a salary of double and company mobile and expenses :rock:

    10 hours on Sunday was hard but move to The Netherlands and basically every store is closed on Sunday except petrol stations and on Mondays many stores don't open till 13:00 or not at all.
