scolopax Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I work on the rigs, 12 hour shifts, usually 6-6 days, sometimes do a trip of nights. Rotation normally two weeks on rig and two weeks off, but doing a three on three off at the moment. Often get extended times at home if not required offshore, so frequently get three, four weeks off. Managed to get 8 weeks off from middle October to middle of december last year, which was a struggle. To be honest not always exactly working when on the rig, more like on call if required. Money wise, part salaried and part day rate so I do suffer financially if I have too much time at home. Average about 160 days per year.

Greenhunter Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 My fishing mate has a farm and works a lot of hours. In some ways i envy him his lifestyle. Loads of shooting land, the dairy is right near his house, hard graft in fresh air but he rarely has time to do much. If i come up to do some shooting he can rarely spare the time to join me. Another farmer i know well, i`ve said come along and have a few hours over deeks, i`ll set up just turn up with your gun. He just says he hasnt the time and appreciates the efforts i go too. What you see aint always what you get unfortunately. My son is a herdsman. Works from 5am-6pm with every other w/end off! so Chunk is right there1 Me,...........I'm RETIRED!!! and loving it!!

pumpitup Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 When I was younger (and a lot less wiser) I worked on a tenting firm, putting up marquees for shows, weddings etc. It was nothing back then to do 100 hours a week during peak season. Now I'm self employed and do the hours I choose. But there's always the dreaded paperwork!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are obviously on a service crew. well services or data log? I done 5.5 years for Shell then took me money. I was only doing 7 on 7 off as well then and that was bad enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 all this "I work harder than you" **** is gay. I work as little hours as possible and have other people (staff) making me money. it's called passive income. the pen pusher vs manual work argument is also ****e. i have done both and there just isnt the hours in the day to be a rich manual worker. (unless you have people working for you). oh, and cos I officially earn nothing I pay **** all tax. suck it up ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
