What's that?!? For 22 years I was staff and had five paid week's holiday a year. I could ring in sick when I stubbed my toe. I had a 37.5 hour week with paid overtime at 1.5T and 2T on a Sunday! I got a Discovery as a company car. But then the gravy train hit the buffers. Now I'm a contracted freelance and I have to source, buy and insure all my own car and kit. I have 200 days guaranteed a year for another 15 months, spread by working 4 weeks out of 5. If I take time off, i pay a subcontractor to replace myself - eg money lost. I do make twice what I used to though, so it's swings and roundabouts as we say in Ye Olde Englande. I know what you mean though - my 13 year old son keeps pestering me to go play a round of golf. I'm supposed to be pestering *him*.... All I want to really do is spend the rest of my life cruising the rivers and canals of Europe in a Dutch barge if truth be told ;-) -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
