Title: Why are working our nuts off in this weather?
Post by: AJ on January 13, 2010, 04:05:05 pm
Personally its to pay for my holiday.
Looking at a couple of weeks in Egypt, never been before.
What's is everybody else looking forward to when the weather is better and the frost bite has subsided?

i loved cuba-cayo coco- , no mosi's, lots of canadians.The Yanks can go now too.
This year i go blue reef sharm  and titanic. My wife likes the hols not me.

The only thing i didn't like (cuba)were the canadian women being too assertive at beach volley ball- they are pretty good- like we are at foot ball but very pushy and rude and swear at you in french.

In cuba the people at our hotel were great (we kept away from the Towns).

Well a post crimbo crash post count diet for one; trying not to annoy (unnecessarily) other posters for two- why upset people even if they are totally wrong and misguided?

Other than that?
Well dec and jan are a bit pressured for me, my wife likes me to help her,while my customers like me to clean their windows.Other than having to keep paying my guys wages when we didn't work things turned out okay for me.The custies didn't miss or expect me, i could see on here that everyone else was loafing about, and the wife kept me working off the scale.

When i took the guy on i promised to pay for all his driving lessons and test so that he could go out on his own, and that was my master plan for getting me through christmass but he has never even gotten his provisional. Some people have no ambition or drive.Of course as the weather turned out it didn't matter.
