"I could't do everything, but at least I spent all my available time in the office"Originally posted by Board Game GeekToo many days...and not any holiday...which is cr@p considering you are a long time dead and there are more important things than work.

238 this year, 2nd best year revenue wise.
Most ever worked - 272 - bit mad but thought I was making hay etc. I find you are fine if you have 1 day off a week, otherwise it is a train smash waiting to happen !
Not interested in doing that anymore, a permie type 225 or less would suit fine. Need to enjoy the time 'resting' which is easier said than done.Comment

Yes, your project for taking over the world is dragging its feet a bit, eh zeity?Originally posted by zeitghostI was physically present at my employers for about 46 weeks.
Actual "work" took up about a fortnight of that, all told.
I'm bored.
