is your work dead?

[Blue Ice]

As long as the power stations keep dropping boilers offline like they have, its going to be a long Christmas here.

[schnoods]

Flat strap here!


$$$ are there if you are a boilermaker. Piece work over the break, a months pay for a weeks work, Hooray for deadlines and progress payments!

[xm_coupe]

I'm a mechanic and we are flat out this week, dont even have time to scratch my ***.

[20focus05]

[Duke]

I konw exactly where your coming from plenty of last minute servicing and the usual air con and brakes. We are doing a Landcruiser head gasket not an ED lol. rather be doing an ED as it would be alot easier to work on.

You got that right! We had the heads off a clevo powered ski boat today, wish they were all that easy.

[rodderz]

Been flat out for the last 6-7 months really doing landscaping jobs, but this time of year is harder as you have to try and time how long jobs will take and whether we can finish them before this Friday. Looks like we will just scrape in, but the 13hr days the last 3 working days are taking their toll!

[MITCHAY]

Very on and off at the moment. I work at a drycleaning place. Hopefully all our customer f off during Christmas week because I'm working by myself for the most part as my boss is going away!

The girl who works with us and is meant to help me out is really useless. In fact 99% of the time I work with her, I'd probably be better off by myself. So even if we're not busy, I'll probably still ending up working harder than I should have to. No she's not hot either :(

[old_mate]

we are flat out finishing up odd jobs and finalising some of the bigger projects for the year. Being the new bloke and having been on forced holidays recently im out there full of enthusiasm, the other sparky's and security techs are just plain over it.

lucky for me i need the overtime. 3 days off Leave without pay due to not having any leave yet lol. Oh and i have to pay my pest man $2500 to do the chemical barrier for termites. Joy.

[5tumpy]

I work for a telco in tech support... We're are insane atm... Customers are waiting an hour to speak to us!

[Charliewool]

Same old, same old, every year... Engineering & machining business... EVERYONE wants their bloody stuff by Christmas!...
It's CHRISTMAS, not the end of the world.
You know what really gets up my snout though?... It's when you bust your boiler getting the job done, delivered etc by that magical day before "armageddon",
then rock up to the clients place on say, the 14th January and that same bit of gear that you sweated blood over is still sitting exactly where you dropped it off 2 weeks prior!

[GORDZ]

yeah i get the same charlie... so much for yesturday being quiet.... 3oclock come and a bloke rocked up and wanted his van signwritten ON THE SPOT, so i knocked it out in about 45 minutes, then he rings up his dad and gets him to come around and get his done too. bloody ell. charged a decent amount as you can imagine. i call it tripledoubledouble, and the boss's eyes light up every time i say it =)

[Bax]

I'm doing design for electrical connections. Mostly LV connections - because I'm relatively new to the design process I'm only doing in line poles and single spans etc.

But work hasn't stopped for us, people still want electricity.

Only problem is, the people we're waiting on to do things, Survey a lot for example, have packed up. So people have to wait.

[GTWHOA]

ROFL i'm the dude who wears the easter bunny suit so the santas are stealing the show at the moment

[Sloth]

I work in printing and we've been flat out for the last few weeks trying to get stuff out the door. But for some reason everything goes dead in February. I won't get to see it next year because I will have quit by then.

[theunfairadvant]

I trade currency and it is on 365 days 24/7 everyday so no break for me.

[XRUTEDAVE]

Driving trains has been fairly quiet for the last 2 years (at least in grain where I am).

[red_hotxr6]

I own my own cleaning buissness and i am run off of my feet. Mind you i am very very fussy, and probably go beyond what is needed, so i get a lot of people calling up from recommendations, only thing is i cant seem to get people to work.They are there for a couple of days and then pfft gone..tooo hard basket...

[Virgil83]

2nd Level corporate IT support... its dying this week, and will continue to do so until its completely dead next week... then won't come back until the first week of January... its a good thing, gotta babysit my kids anyway... three favourite words at the moment: "Work from home".
