Army Thread 3rd June
:hallo: Molly. Thing is I'd been a bit spoiled the last few years. Younger son had joined the family business and he was out and about getting and delivering orders and collecting payments and such while Mr. Stirly minded the office. So I only worked once a week or once a fortnight and sometimes, only once a month. Younger son left just before Easter after yet another row with his father (Mr. Stirly is a hard worker and a very responsible businessman but very difficult to work with. Stressed out all the time and when he's upset, he tends to curse a lot. I'm not just saying this, he admits it himself. But God help he should ever try the slightest bit to change his those things. 
) Anyway, the result is that I've had to pick up the slack and am now working 3 to 4 days a week, getting up at 6 a.m and not home til 5 pm and sometimes later. Younger son is still helping us out with some of the products that are include technical details that we haven't learned yet, but I now have to send faxes and e-mails that he was taking care of. (Mr. Stirly has no computer knowledge at all. Doesn't even know where the on/off switch is.) And they have to be written in Greek which I can do okay but it takes me much longer than English since they have to be professionally worded and of course correctly spelled. And I get a bit stressed doing them. Anyway, I am enjoying the contact with our customers and potential customers and am learning about new products, etc. etc. Now if we could just put a big piece of duct tape over Mr. Stirly's mouth, all would be well....:H:H

I completely sympathize with you on the whole working thing, I've been finding life overwhelmingly busy lately. It's like a relentless roundabout sometimes. If you could just come home and put the feet up at the end of a day (like the men mostly can) it'd be handy enough. But I know in my case, I start my second job here at 6pm, and if I don't do anything - all the shite is still sitting there tomorrow - the day after -.................. Ooops I'm moaning!! You did hit a nerve with me today tho, cos I feel the same
