That's because they do it part time ! The novelty of camming up & being all gung ho is great when you only do it a couple of days a week Ken. Not knocking their contribution, it is truly valued, but they are only part timers, I think you find it's the same in all part time pursuits !
How many people enjoy cooking for groups ? Working behind a bar ? It's a buzz, when you do it now & then, but full time it becomes a routine, so you get on with it as a professional will. The Short timers come in give it 110% for a couple of days then go away chill out & do their proper job.The Army(Armed Forces)give 110% every day with nowhere to go for some slack.
