  • I work every other sunday at my old job. My new job is 40 hours. Pay is mediocre, so barely enough to sustain a family. Wife can’t work due to medical reasons. So the extra money is needed. Also it’s 200% on sundays, so those 2 days (18-20 hours) are worth about €250/month, which makes it worth it imho. I wouldn’t do it for less. They’ve asked my for saturdays, but that’s only 5 hours, for 150%, at 4 in the morning (instead of 2 in the afternoon on sunday). I don’t do saturdays anymore.

    Also, it’s my old job. I need to drive a truck and unload at the usual places. I could do it blindfolded if it wasn’t illegal to drive a truck blindfolded. Funny thing is, I really hated the job the last year before I changed careers. Now I actually enjoy it, because it’s my “podcast and audiobook time”.

    However, if I could afford to quit it, I would.





  • No, what you mean is that computers should be made more idiot proof. The user can’t help being an idiot, the competent IT geniuses who make the computers should guard against every eventuality. That’s why we have smartphones and tablets now. They’re computers for normies.
