Fair enough I've just had 2 weeks holiday but that was pre-booked before I started my new job 2 weeks ago so I had to take it but I think my working hours are so long and im getting so tired.

Im working from Wednesday Just gone till next Friday without a day off from 8.15 till 6.30. Reasonable day but doing 10 days in a row week in week out I think will take its toll on me. I work in car sales so the hours are long anyway for that job role but thats where the money is but 10 - 10.5 hours is a wee bit high.

What are every1 elses working pattern?

ill get used to it hehe whats gotta be done is gotta be done!

The most iv ever worked was 60 hours a week, 6am - 4pm, or 2pm - 12am. I had a few weeks like that, it wascompulsory overtime and it just destroyed my social life.

because not all chippies are busy between 2pm - 5pm any they are probably losing money by running the range in between them times ie gas, electric ect
same as mondays
