my commute is up a few flights of stairs to my office at the top of the house. sometimes i need to fly out and do the old meet and greet in which case 2 minutes changes to 4 or more hours. a day is what a day needs to be in order to do the stuff that needs to be done.

Aye that would be the plan for me. Never consider permie with such a commute.....Originally posted by unixman View PostSame as OP from my own house, but from local digs: 15 min each way + 8 hours on site.
Eventually it becomes an oppressive hamster wheel, even with local mon-fri digs. But being a contractor, you can hopefully just finish and take a few months off.
Trouble is dear wife is about to get the boot from her job due to illhealth so that puts a dent in my plans for that one...Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

It'd be 3 hours for me. No WFH at this gig - about the only thing wrong with it.Originally posted by rl4engc View Post45 minute drive each way and 8 hours total work.
..which is why I love working from home. The 10 second commute, and 1.5 extra hours a day for yourself/house/family.
Even one day a week WFH would make a huge difference for me.
When I've had a titfull of it might throw it into the equation at renewal and walk if they say no still.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

Divide the day rate by 12 and you'll see you aren't earning feck all. Enjoy.Originally posted by psychocandy View PostNo I dont. I'd much rather spend the morning at home watching Jeremy Kyle, crack one out watching Loose Women, then having a few hours kip in the afternoon.
But no-one will pay me shedloads of money for doing that !Comment
