Sometimes I think I'd actually prefer a gig that was only 3 days a week or something. Better to have half decent money for 3 days than work your nuts off and kill yourself doing 5 days.
hmm. Changing doc/dentist every time you change client sounds like a bit of hassle.Comment

I used to commute from Poole to Wimbledon, via Waterloo everyday.
3 hours door to door each way -
Up at 5:00am, home by 9:00. Used to stay in a B&B 5 minute walk away for the first 6 months of the contract, but the demands of the wife meant I had to come back to Poole to do that killer commute everyday.
A broken man I was. Now I ditched her and have a permanent place in London and life is good again!Comment

Seriously, the Mrs made you come home every night? Sod that. I would have told her if she was that bothered to get on the train and stay in the B&B in Poole with me.
Mind you. Depends what was on offer from the Mrs for the 3 hr trek home. I would have expected some great services provided every night in exchange :-)
(Mind you might be too knackered after 6 hours travelling a day!)Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
