How do you guys do it by just having Saturday and Sunday to hunt and fish? This sucks. I worked shift work for 7 years and hunted or fished on every off day during the week, now i have second kid on the way and shift work isn't great for the family so took a mon-fri job.

That is all, my whining is over.

It sucks but you get used to it after awhile. Used to do the same where I worked 5 days one week then two the next. That 5 day week was blown though cause it was 60 hrs.
If you want to fish one weekend you can't be too picky about weather and conditions you just have to get out and go and enjoy the fact you're able to do so. Unless you don't catch anything

I am salaried guy that works M-F since I got out of college ions ago. My typical work week is at least 50 hours, if not more. I am currently sitting at my desk in my office playing catch up from last week and trying to get ahead for next week.

It sucks in some regards, but it all depends on what type of work you do.

It's tough. Only reason I'm still doing it is for the end game. Once this gig is up ill never work for anyone else again.

I work M-F 8-5, but I am on call 365 days a year basically.

It is just myself and my FIL at my office, so we can come and go as we please, but the phones usually keep us on the hook.

I hate it. Ready for my wife to graduate so I can cut grass and work for my damn self.

I did it recently for a period of time because I had no choice. It definitely sucks compared to what I was used to. I work 4 on 4 off like I did before. Really enjoy my schedule.

I work 2-1/2 days a week...
Mon 2am-1pm
Tues 3am-2pm
Thurs 3am-9am

I can change any of those days and times...work more days but less hours etc...except I always have to work a Monday for at least a few hour...works out great to accommodate kids school events or whatever.
