Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Oooh interesting one. I am thinking lots of people would rather skip work and have a day out and about. On the other hand quite a few people on here seem to work doing what they like from home making stuff etc. Maybe I just need a new job!
Luv to ... but my boss is the meanest, nastiest, evil boss I've ever had!
Oh, wait a minute ... I'm self employed ... that means I'm the boss!
When you are self-employed, you are working for yourself. Yes, you set your own schedule, but tends to be a lot harder to "take a day off" than if you were working for somebody else. And you tend to drive yourself harder than you would a slave ... um err ... I mean .... an emplyee. That's why I worked all day yesterday, today, and it will all blend into Monday.
So I might or might not work tommorrow - Monday. A lot depends upon how these old bones and muscles ache in the morning. Two days of cutting/splitting firewood tends to take a lot more out of me than the same time spent forging iron in the blacksmith shop.
So it goes.

Iv been thinking about phoning in sick all weekend, lol dreading goin to work today. suppose it brings in the pennies though.
'nother self employed bod here. As we also work from home we tend to do some work everyday, even if it's only an hour or so.
I work for myself - and I mean that in many ways!
I gave up a career in computers when I hit 20 and have only done work that I enjoy since then.
Not much dosh but who needs it?
I get paid to go walking, canoeing, trekking in exotic locations, helping young people find their way in life, help people with learning disability enjoy their lives a bit more.
I get given kit to try out, get paid to write about it.
I can call going canoeing with friends "skills development" = work, going for a walk "research time/gear testing" and this even includes going to Bushcraft Meets....
Skip Work?
NO WAY!

When I'm not doing up a house full time (which is at the moment) I can generally please myself. At the moment its half term so I'm with the kids, this afternoon we are going out for a mini yomp.
We should be in Spain now, but a slipped disc means I am reconsidering my ability to skydive occasionaly.

Unfortunatley i tried the Mondayitis thing with the wife at half 6 this morning so she could stay at home and look after the kids.
Kicked up the bum, so that didn't work. Like Tourist i've got my kids so no escaping the responsibility of looking after and watching them until Wednesday
Was my own boss for 13 yrs running my own business, but you can't skive off even then or the bills don't get paid
Tourist, surely you could rig yourself a martian landing drone balloon ball for yer sky diving lol

if I don't go to work I don't get paid, basically. Holidays are always a pain, not just because of the cost of the holiday but I loose about the same amount in missing work
I'm in between employment at the moment. It's quite a scary prospect with no money coming in, but I have a buffer so I am not desperately worried, but I am a little.
Ditto Ed and Spamel
Made redundant in the summer, and whilst its not killing me yet - that day is getting closer as the payout gets spent.

I Love working offshore.

yeah your right, i had same lost me job when factory relocated abroad, i dont know what the economics of your areas is, ive never been very fussy, which is just aswell im trained in not much really.
Ive fell in to cleaning jobs now, pay aint great, but it seems a lot more secure than the factory/lorry loading jobs ive been used to.
I do a bit of catalogue and leaflet delivery too, i prefer that, nice to be outdoors.
I delivered 800 phonebooks last week which proved a trial and a half, but the upside was i found two apple trees and a blackberry bush i didnt know was there.
I hope you all get sorted ok, i feel a bit guilty about the poll now, but god loves a tryer and im sure you will get fixed up somewhere.
