I work 37.5 hours a week, which is plenty for me. I start early every morning, but I get Friday afternoons off, which is a big perk of the job in my opinion. The only thing that could be better right now is if I didn't have to travel so far. I live North Liverpool but my workplace is South Liverpool, so it can take upto an hour and a half each way, depending on what mood our public transport is in! The plan is to move our office to central Liverpool early next year, so that will be a huge help once we eventually get there!

So its all really draining me.....I always feel tired
hehe. I've got no sympathy for your being tired in the morning if you are out partying till 3 or 4 am!!! Why do you travel that much? Is that 3-4 hours you commute to and from work?

Wow thats seem too much.....are u planning to change the job again?. For my next job i really wanna be chossy.
NO!!!! I love my job!! It is pretty much my choice to work this much. If I wasn't so ambitious and didn't want promotions and big bonuses and raises, I could work a fairly normal workload. However, I work with some truly amazing people and my work is incredibly challenging. I love it and all these hours may be draining but I also get rewarded nicely for them. By doing what I do, I get to work with the most influential people in the firm and their high opinion of me and my work opens a lot of doors for me. Plus, I get to do what I want - pick the engagements I want to work on and generally have the pick of the staff - life's good!

Work is my life - it has always been this way, just this time, it comes with awesome perks and satisfying rewards.

Hehe yeah i love going out and doing too much and too much driking acutally.. Anyway about traveling, i'm taking bus everday. Its just 10 min drive if u go by car without traiffic. But with bus, i need to change 2 and sometime 3 and route its go is really bad.. i remember once i left office at 7.15 and reached home around 11.30 lol. Traiffic is insane here... can't wait till i get my dubai licence.

I should change my adress, either to the hospitals' adress or go live in the ambulance. I LOVE my job, I really do, I couldn't do anything alse, but I am working all the time, and that's becoming just a little over the top...
