working away and drinking too much

No wonder you're on the sauce!The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.” -

I get the comments that
"I can go out whenever I like while I'm down there"
You want to try it. Go to the pub more than once during the week and the moaning is something else!Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment

my wife used to think I was having a ball working away. I got one contract in the middle of winter where there was no hot water in the hotel so I was on cold showers. The project was in deep clag and I was brought in to bail them. I had to pick it all up, meet the board and start the fix in week one, then drive back up norf through the rush hours.Originally posted by kramerjust wondered how everyone copes with working away from home.
I end up grabbing the nearest anybody and drinking enough to make me forget about the empty flat i'm going back to.
I know i should be doing something contructive but i kinda like the socialising now.
Meanwhile the wife thinks i'm having a party.....
Friday night in bed my head was spinning, I was shaking like a leaf with some sort of nervous reaction and during the night I peed the bed
The missus has a different take on things now and she really takes care of me at the weekends.
When I am on the bench I return the favour and do everything round the house including cleaning and cooking. Swings and roundabouts
