normal 9-5 stuff yeah, but when your hardly ever around, i was pretty much on call 24/7 to go anywhere in uk, mainly north of birmingham, scotland, ulster and ireland.
sometimes i would drive for 3 hours to get home for a couple of hours then drive off again for another 3 hours, and do an 18 hour shift somewhere, longest shift i did was 25 hours.
so when i was at home, i wasn't "really there", yes its life but its quality of life
and it should be work to live, not live to work, no matter how much money you make you will never buy back that precious time of your kids growing up
