Yeah Baby

 

You sound like you've got it made Jez, the very best of luck to you.

 

As said, GOOD LUCK TO YA AND ENJOY, (agree great looking BSA and in pristine condition)

 

With you on this mate....after years of busting my nuts I'm now in a small workshop repairing and servicing small plant machinery....money's not the best but I finish 3.30 every day and no weekends
Good bunch of lads....a few of them bikers as well

 

Sounds like you've found your way into a nice little company jezz.
When you've worked in a more pressured role it makes it all the more sweeter.
Good on yer, and long may it last.
The bike is amazing, beautiful pic.

 

Did I not mention?....I don't work twice a week ....once for 3 days and once for 4 days

 

Sounds good - I know the feeling - 4 years working for a ball - busting bunch of tossers (that's YOU Berkeley Homes) and 18 years with a small firm but where everything fell to me to sort out while my so called partner pissed off down the gym or on holiday.
Been working for myself now for almost 6 years - best thing I ever did.

 

Great story Jezz ! The life you left sounds alot like the life I live ! Sometimes I wonder why I even have a bike purely because my career keeps me so busy ! Good on you mate ! Tell the bloke you work with that his BSA looks damn good !!

 

Nice story and an approach I agree wholeheartedly with. Under pressure to work even more than the 12 hours a day I was averaging, and being pushed towards a management job with heaps more stress that I really didn't want, l went contracting three years ago and have not looked back. Yes the periods between are boring but with a sensible cash buffer in place I don't let it bother me.

Work life balance is crucial for a happier life.

 

I need to know more about the greasy sausage roll that was plonked on your desk.

I like a good sausage roll!!

 

I spent 2 hours with my bike on 30/6/17 and I might get the loose connection done on Sunday 9/7/17, working in between normally 12 hours and paid for 10. Best job Ive ever had. It took me 20 years to get here.

 

My work used to contain fun elements, the constant streams of red tape, pointless bullshit management projects and work avoidance muppets have squeezed that particular fruit dry... however, I have a job, so that's something and the 28 miles(ish) ride in and home on either A road or country lane help stop Jack being a dull boy!!!

 

Good on you! When my finale high-pressure contract came to an end, all the years of sadness fell away from me. A weight had been lifted from my shoulders. I felt free and life was good again.

I realise selling The Big Issue isn't everyone's cup of Darjeeling, but this weather, living on the coast, with all the pretty, scantly-clad ladies out in force, it's damn hard to beat

 

I've recently stepped aside from the general madness of offshore oilfield construction, I'm presently sorting out QC issues for a small firm of electrical contractors in the rail sector.

I had a lot of fun in the oilpatch, a lot of stress and made a bob or two but at some point you have to come back to reality
