It's the quickest most efficient way for us to set things up for the future.

I don't like it, SWMBO doesn't like it but it's a means to an end.

Pretty much what he said... means to an end.

It's new to me - the working away in the week thing, I mean. I'm finding that if I fill my evenings with stuff it's not so bad. Plus makes the weekends soooo much better.

If the only decent roles are down south then eventually, we'll have to consider making a move I suppose... but thats a little way down the line yet.

Maybe we need a CUK WAGs forum for us left at home

my Mrs also knows we wouldn't have a fraction of the things we have if contracting was not there - take the passat as a case point

Sometimes on CUK there's a post that just brightens up your day. This is one of them. Top work Milan

Fortunately I've never had to work away from home on a regular basis. My unwillingness to do so probably meant my 2009 benched spell was longer than it could have been but I held out until I got something within a half hour commute.

How do you / the other half cope with the fact that 4 nights a week you're away?

Simple. I don't have one

Seriously though I'm like working away at the moment as I get to be really selfish and only care about myself. Just been asked to do a starts in April will involve working from 35 sites in Europe

Not sure I'd be up for doing that if I had to authorise it with her indoors.


Also I'd be convinced she's be ordered more milk, having the windows cleaned and breaking the fridge more than would strictly be necessary.

I drink beer, eat well, and sleep better.

I used to work away all the time now I work from home full time.

Nice working from home, and must be great if you have kids, but I sometimes miss the working away.

You get a few rumpled faces when you say that working away isn't so bad but I'm not really a home in the suburbs kind of guy.
