call centre work all depends on your personallity and the people that are on your team
im lucky each call centre ive been in they have been chilled and up for a laugh

but its different with farming, surely? as its more of a personal job, if you know what i mean. i.e its not the typical job, where u get an interview, etc. and set shift hours..
still definitely horrible working hours! lol

Daily rest - a break between working days
If you're an adult worker you usually have the right to a break of at least 11 hours between working days. A young worker has a right to a break of at least 12 hours between working days.
Presume you're over 18 so its legal...get to work!
