First week back after the Christmas Break and Boy am I sore. Today I have an office day, but my body has so much lactic acid running around. Amazing what a break of two weeks will do to your system. By next week I should be fine and only just ache in the morning.

Just for those that don't know I own a ceiling firm. That is we do commercial partition and ceiling works. Lifting sheets of plasterboard, packs of framing steel; that sort of thing. For the last 8 months I have been back on the tools for 3-4 days a week. Just to keep fit and keep in touch with the men. This last week I have employed a couple more men and of course I need to show them how our company operates. This means running like a madman and working my ring gear out. Lead by example sort of crap.

Well now I am suffering for being so slack over the break. Oh well how was your first week. Chip a nail, almost staple yourself, hallway cricket? ;)

I will reply to this thread in two weeks when I go back to work. Until then take it easy Paul.

Rumples, it's been hell, i got a nasty paper cut and the beginnings of wrist RSI (but think that's more due to virtual dubbing than work ;) ).

i'd complain about work mental stress etc, but then again it's lucky I've got a job so I'll just keep quietly beavering away toward an early grave :P

cheers,

Sounds like hard yakka RR!:scared:

My work as a breakfast radio journo/newsreader doesn't require much of that other than carrying the morning papers and my coffee in to the newsroom:lol:

What will balance the ledger somewhat is my 3.15am Mon-Fri "rise and shine".

That's about the toughest part of my job, especially this week after 2 weeks hols being at the cricket and generally lazing around like Little Lord Fontleroy:P

As previously expressed it is hard to get back into the swing of work after a few days off, I am ready for a holiday again...

The plus side of being back at work is that the coffee is plentiful and free...recognize that I did not claim that it was good just free...

Pretty much the same for all of us. I hate work, only reason why I go is the money at the end of the week and the job. So long as the money is big I will get my back side out of bed and slave myself. Roll on holidays in December.
