Not the actual travelling, but staying away in a hotel on your own is depressing ::)
Nothing worse than sitting down for dinner on your own, which I suppose I'll have to do shortly ::)
-
awwwww *grabs Violin :D
-
To quote the Cripple:
"Man up"
Oh, yeah, thats you ;D
-
Although there are a couple of reasonable looking Curry houses nearby :-X ::)
Strange really... Used to love having to go away and stay in a hotel for any reason. Nowadays I'd rather be at home with my own bed ::) ::)
I should add that I wasn't expecting to get any sympathy, I already know where to find it in the dictionary ;) ;)

I knew you weren't that daft

What's more frustrating is the WiFi (although it's nice to get it ::))... Keeps dropping out and slower than mine at home, which I didn't think was possible any more ;D ;D

The wife is gonna love seeing this and will use it whenever she sees fit to us it..... you are now a marked man ;) ;D ;D

I share the feeling old bean..... I hate working away from home, never get a decent nights sleep, miss the "comforts" of home too much...
(that said , the mrs is working nights at the moment, it's much the same as me working away, i hate it..... )
on the up side, you don;t have to cook, or wash up....
not much of an upside (especially for dishwasher owners .....)

5 years of my life passed like that from here to there.. at the end I forgot where my bed was ;D
still most of my meals I eat alone in job time.. :-\
-
Not much of an upside indeed. Cooking is a "Pink" job and loading the dishwasher's not exactly a hardship ::)
Doubt she'll enjoy it much either as I haven't done a night shift for 11 months ::)
It's fine when you have company though, which she will :y
TBH, it's probably because I've been knocking about here all day

::) An addendum to the Human Rights Act must surely be in order! ;D

working away is a dream come true for me.
no arguing from folks and / or girlfriend. no cooking. no washing up. no house work. no stress.
i actually am the opposite to you by the sounds of it.... i need time on my own and unless i'm in the bog i aint gettin enough of it lately. >:(
-
What's the matter with you.......go on the beers :y
You won't get nagged about how many you've had or what time you turn in :y
With a nice cooked greasy breakie in the morning to sort the hangover out :y

Aye, time away on your own gets very boring.

Have no issues with being on my own. Think the real "issue" here is that I have no transport at present ;)
As for going on the beer... What do you think I've been doing for the last 8 hours on my own ;)

Some of us need a bit of space - with travelling quite a lot for almost 40 years I have got used to it - it is the actual travelling that is a pain - fine when I get there. Question is how you use your spare time when travelling and I usually have a plan - when you don't things can hsappen - once ended up in a car showroom in Kolkata (Calcutta) with someone trying to sell me an Ambassador car ( old Morris Oxford types) and walking into a situation in Sierra Leone with Lebanese in 1989 relating to the release of Terry Waite.

I love the travelling, but when stranded in a quiet(ish) town on a Sunday with no transport it's a bit frustrating ::)
I was hoping to get my van up from the fitter before SWMBO left with the car at lunchtime. Then I could have nipped up and seen my mother ;)

I tend to try and be a little sensible when drinking alone, especially as I haven't really drunk much in the last 10 months. Plus, it's a long way from my room to the bar (which was packed earlier) ::)

LD, am I right in thinking you are setting up doing fuel transferring when wrong fuel used etc?

i love working away. ok for me as i live alone anyway so i treat it like a holiday, were all out on the beer 7 nights a week and i usually sample the local tottie when ive had too many to care what they look like. :) ;)

I have been working in London for the last 5 months. For me, personally it is no fun at all.
My day starts at 07.30 and finishes between 20.00 and 22.00. Therefore I have no spare time.
I mentioned to my boss that the permanent staff only work 40 hours, can I not have a few early finishes? His answer was wonderful - " there are no jobs in the north east, which is why you are working in London, get on with it". So my life is work, sleep, work , sleep :'( :'( I also find the hotels are generally, quite poor, unless you are paying £120 upwards (not out of my own pocket, thank you!!). I can't wait for this recession to start evaporating, I would take a large pay cut to work nearer Newcastle, and be near to my two boys......oh and SWMBO :-X
Anyway, enough of my complaining. My bills are being paid, the family has a roof over their heads and food is on the table :) :)

I worked in London and commuted back to north from May 1982 to September 1982 - hotel expenses paid etc and then moved family down here in October 1982. Best thing for us and no regrets at all. Maybe best for you as well Zombie.
30 years further on and the strain comes with sick parents etc but you cannot base everything around this eventuality. Difficult situation when it hits though.

its a kind of lonely existence working away from home. I spent 5 years testing the new trains down south, spent a lot of time in Margate :-X , East Ham, etc getting home every few days, then away again.
by the time it finished, my kids had grown up. From youngsters to over 18s, I missed a fair chunk of their growing up, being there as a Dad, helping out, etc. Time and memories lost for ever.
