get a life! ;)
Why?
One of the good things about this job is working when you want. So if you want to work, work.
If you don't, don't.
Or is it a Sunday roast and then snoozing in front of The Love Boat and Bullseye for you, Ben?
Times have changed.
why? because i have kids and a wife!
i like to spend the sunday with my family and not disturbing any customers!

i imagine people would find you disturbing no matter which day of
the week it was ;)
do you think you are funny?

Do i think im funny?,do you need a sense of humor? or just some kind
of sense at all.....questions questions questions. :)

LMFAO. Funniest post of the year to date! Quality.

Ah well, your turn to be amused now. I turned up at my one job and my hoses were all frozen.  :-[

Caught out by the sudden temperature drop.

I worked yesterday afternoon, picked up 3 new ones but only had time to do 2 of them. They are 2 minutes up the road from me, so I arranged to do the third one today. As it turned out, it was raining heavily, so I've rearranged it for Tuesday. Customer was happy either way.

With the weather being the way it has been, I for one need to be flexible and work whenever it is possible. If that means working on a Sunday, and the customer has agreed to it, then so be it.

Being diplomatic is being able to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip.

I may work a Saturday morning when busy,but I have never worked a sunday and wont dream of do it,

that's me,but people want to work then fair enough

reason I run my business is that I don't work weekends


for me weekends are spent doing what I love, ;) ;) ;)

I admit it would be easier to work weekends than some of the thing I do on weekends but hey life is about having fun ;D

Sounds great, but how does that work with your customers? Do you have customers that you only do on a Sunday, or do you have others who know you will charge them double?

I DO have a life, but i DID work last Sunday. After having been off since 21/12, i felt i had to, given the nice weather and how behind i was by then. I don't LIKE working on a Sunday (or a Saturday for that matter), but needs must. Oh, and i had plenty of time to spend with my family during the (weather enforced) 2 weeks i was off. Also, in my experience, with regards to customers, nobody minds my turning up on a Sunday. 

So if you are in the position of not having to, or choosing not to work on a Sunday, or the weekend in general, good for you. But don't have a go at, or slag off those who choose to work when they can or feel they have to.
