Dad does 98 hours a week!

No wonder he's always telling me to help out!

i was supposed to have a half day this weekend for a break

and saturday morning saw my girlfriend come up from london to see me (never seen her scince i started)

i was supposed to open up, 1 man comes in @ 8am, next at 10.30, when the second man came in i was supposed to leave for a few hours so i could spend sum quality time with the GF

and the ****en 1st man didnt turn in at 8am

which meant i was stuck there all day as it was busy, tried ringing him, phone was off

gave up in the end, saw my GF for about 4 hours sat night, then she went back home on sunday lad who went awol on sat phoned up sunday afternoon saying sorry and it wont happen again WTF

I know exactually what you mean about stress levels.
I have worked every day for the last 3 weeks and my next day off just happens to be Christmas Day
Tired as can be but needs must when you work for yourself..you have got to make money while theres money to be made...If there was no work then we would have something to really moan about.
