More shop time!

John Hill:
I have been put on to a three day week!    I suppose I should be upset at the 40% drop in income and the prospect of a future subsisting on yesterday's bread and weak tea but really all I can think of is the extra shop time. :ddb:

spuddevans:
Sorry to hear about the drop in income, but extra time in the shop has to be a good consolation.


Every silver lining has a cloud, or something like that.

John,

Bad news on the short time working.

Think positive though, you are very fortunate in that it could have been a 0 day week.

It is no joke being off work for any length of time. Getting extra hours in the shop at this time will be a bonus, but after a time that will start to wear off.
I haven't been able to work for over 5 years now, and you have to strike a balance between the shop as a working environment, and then for true enjoyment. It could easily become a place you hate, if you don't get that balance right.

Look for a project that you always really wanted to do, but never had the time before now, and if it is within your financial means, get stuck in.

CrewCab:
Double edged sword John, hopefully you can weather the financial storm and enjoy the extra free time, good luck  :thumbup:

John Hill:
Thanks for the comments everyone.


Somehow I doubt I will ever be on the 5 day week again but although the money will be missed it is no a tragedy.  Mrs and I have been saving our pennies for a very long time so maybe now we can spend some of it.

I am 62 and all my friends are retired and just hanging around the house but I hope I can do better than that. ::)
