when I was doing 2 full time jobs, a part time job and 2 casuals at once it was something in the order of 2 years straight its a very fast way to make a lot of time vanish.
since then probabley a 6 month stint.

Longest day so far is 34 hours. Did 12 hours around Brissie then did a job up to Blackwater and back. My sinus problem needed a fair bit of medication for that one.
Even though the money was good I wouldn't do it again.
21 days straight of 14 hour days, then having to go home, cook and do the washing.....
time-wise, 7 days of 16hrs/day, halfway through the 8th day someone twigged that my tradie and i had been on site for more than 5 days without a break..... we got turfed off site 6 hours from the end of an "urgent" job that management had been hounding us about, got told not to return to site for 48 hours..... that was mid afternoon on the thursday, we turned up again mid morning on the monday.....
ah, those darn sinus problems eh? lolQuote:

When we got back I joined the Reserves as a Fitter/Armourer.
Was more like a holiday camp than Army .. lol
But I enjoyed my time with them.
