How Many .. ? xx

[Stephanie]

Probably around 15-20 days,

Enjoy it til i get a smelly/rude client *rarely* then i get moody

Self employed yes...

I sometimes work alone in hotels, other time i may share an apartment with a beautiful lady, i like the best of both, sometimes, i'm a loner who loves my own space, other times, i like the laughs you can have with another girl and the occasional 3sum sshhh


Work ethic - Work hard , play hard, also if i work hard i can reward myself with holidays, nice clothes, shoes, handbags and spoil my baby nieces (probably a little too much)

So, for the next 10 days, i may work my ass off, knowing then i have 2 weeks in the sun with the people i love , can't wait yippeeeeee

So, there ya go you nosey bitch......

truth be told, didn't expect anyone to post so much detail !!, and this defo not the answer I would have though

You'd be much like me so... except you're more fun xxx

So my question remains : What IS work ethic ?

Is it a feeling of responsibility (for your family , or to your boss, to your clients) ? Or something else ?

Does it stem from obligation, or from enjoyment ?

One might dislike the job, but enjoy the fruits of it.. so their work ethic might still be driven by pleasure ?


Have no idea where I'm going with this x

Have some vague notions (and maybe a realisation) in my cobwebby head this morning xx

I work a 4x12 hr week and a couple of hours on a Fri.
Self employed with 6 employees
It was 35 during the boom but now just six lads who have been with me 20- 25 years.
I know them their wives their kids so I feel a sense of responsibility towards them.
I have no real financial need to work but I have worked the last 35 years without ever being unemployed
so I have a strong work ethic and would get bored without the challenge of running a business and finding enough work to
keep 6 men busy.
It's gets harder with paperwork and form filling ,health and safety etc ,but I enjoy the buzz and the challenge.
Not one for sitting around or playing golf every day.

I only worked for 12 days of last month due to unusual circumstances. No holiday sadly. I've not had one of those for several years, although I have had the odd weekend away with friends in the UK if that counts?

I had to go back home due to one of my best friends finally losing her fight with Cancer and attending her funeral and putting a few things in place for my son, so he would be able to continue living in the family home, while I concentrate on working for the next couple of years away from home.

I also went back to spend some time with my new niece who is still only a matter of weeks old. One of the things that pains me the most about the nature of this job is being parted from family and with her being so young and me always wanting to have a daughter, it has been a huge wrench, but I am so looking forward to going back at Xmas and giving her loads of love and hugs and making sure she knows who I am. The thing I worry about most of all is being some distant Aunt she doesn't really know. I don't want that.

My work ethic or out look on life, is that I work to live, not live to work. I love my job, if you can describe it as a job, but it does not define who I am or what my life is about. It compliments my life and is a big part of who I am. I also believe strongly in providing the same standards I would demand in life, in everything that I do. This is one of the reasons why I won't do 'quickies'.

As I don't get to have many holidays, I try to pace myself and take occasional days off when I feel the need. I do love Ireland and I do love my photography, so I'll just take myself off with my camera if I need a bit of 'me' time or stay at home and cook a nice meal and just relax. I'm not a huge party girl. I'd rather a more intimate affair at a nice pub with a few friends if socialising or invite friends round for dinner.

I'm not sure if I actually answered your question now. I think what I'm trying to say is that I think for me at least it is important to get an equal balance in life. I can't do the 'all or nothing' thing, or 'work hard and play hard' as that would make me burn out. As they say... slow and steady wins the race.

I am self employed for the last year or so, yet even before that I always felt that I worked for myself, that was what was important to me and if my efforts were to the benefit of another person/company than great, so be it but it would not be a driving force, to pay bills/family ? No.

For me it is so important to give it my all and enjoy the challenge, at the end of the day to go home with that self satisfaction, be it a good day or bad, knowing I did my best.

Then tomorrow I will be happy to do the same, it’s what works for me.

There are probably around only four days each month where I don't log on to work. That'll be two weekends in the month.

I can relate to that. Anything I do, I do with all I've got : Enthusiasm, diligence, and immersion in the 'task at hand' ..

May it be work or pleasure, gardening, shopping, exploring, husbandry, or companionship xx
