Sleep in?! I wish! My line of work is more industrial

I grabbed 45 mins at about 4am but while I sleep, s**t stops, and if s**t stops, the customer won't get their s**t, then their s**t will stop, and they'll have blokes standing around unable to do s**t and I'll lose my customer and the bills won't get paid.

I lost my job (so did the missus) back in lockdown one and had to think on my toes pretty bloody sharpish, as did she.

Occasionally this means very, very long hours, 7 day weeks and being accommodating where others aren't.

It's all good though.

You can sit around b***hing and sniping at the unfairness of life or pull your f**king finger out and graft.
