Delivery work is decent money ... I am presuming you work for Kings in Sydney .... I work for ANC and they were getting me to do offsider work for Target and KMART ... I was getting paid $22 an hour for sitting in a passenger seat and lifting a few boxes .... was doing 14 hours a a day as well .... I didn't pay for fuel ... and I didn't have to deal with driving in traffic ... easy money.

I do between 38-45 hours a week depending on how often the machines break down at work (which is often)

I could NEVER do a 90 hour week..

Well after starting as a first year apprentice, I now do 40-50 hours a week and usually pull in $430/week. Not so great but can't complain for a first year.

Guy's I have come to the conclusion that I am screwed up in the head, BIG time.... I have been on holidays since Dec 22nd, and since then I have only had 3 day off not working on my house... I have been working 10-12 hours a day... Yesterday, I started at 8am and stopped at 9pm... The wife is no bloody help.. She just brings my food and drink out to me so I don't stop working...... Then to day, I was putting plants in the ground at 5:30am...... Am I friggin insane?

I thought you would be old enough to know that if you holiday at home you need to go back to work for rest. You have to go away or let the missus go to Bali with her girlfriends.

I Dont know how many hours a week I work, I will go and ask 1 of my 800 bosses.
