Morning folks. Nothing new to report, other than me loading some other OEM offerings (app wise) onto the Maxx.

Apparently your sense of scale is as good as your grammar skills

I do know they are big but the picture makes them seem smaller

I've always been into music, so I like the good stuff wrt music.

I purchased my turntable almost 30 years ago. Yeah, I'm old.

That's the Legendary Technics turntable. People (at least where I am) will pay good money for one.

My Apple keyboard is in a state of ****, i.e., letter o becomes tab, main [enter] key doesn't work, @ sign is not working, and 0 which I have been substituting for letter o decided to give up last night. This is the *first* time I have had keyboard failure this early.

Piece of crap.

It's all about context. It's the picture you noticed it.

I have a Technics SL-Q2 from the 70s and it works like a champ. I'll probably fire it up this weekend.

You have my sympathies! I had a job like that. Your next cup of tea is on me. :wink:

I've had many jobs like this! LOL!

This is just one week of this. I usually start around 7am and work to 4:30pm. I work a 9 day fortnight so have every second Friday off like a long weekend. It's nice to have so you can get things done.

I've worked everything from a standard 8 hour day to a 12 hour day and from 5 to 7 days a week. Just depends where I work.

I used to be a contractor but now I'm staff. Not really enjoying it but hey, it's a job.

A job is most definitely a good thing! There are pros and cons to moving from contractor to staff, and vice versa. The job I was remembering had me in my chair around 6:45 a.m. and the day would sometimes end at 5:00, 4:30, or even 7:00 pm. It just depended on what the day brought and whether or not I could get across the parking lot and into my car before the phone would start ringing and I'd have to turn around. There were nights I'd still be in the office at 9:00 pm and there would be nights when I'd have to sleep with my phone at my head and wait for the calls to start.

I don't do that job anymore!

For now, I'm going to try again to get to sleep. Tomorrow will be long and I'll be short on rest.

Don't blame you.

I started here this morning at 6:30am. It's mostly to do with an event that's on and it creates some traffic headaches so everyone is getting in early this week. I'm off Friday this week (forced by the company) and next Friday is my usual Friday off.

This is my second time working as staff in my career. The first time I worked staff I was younger and at time when work was scarce. So I did lots of overtime. Saturdays, Sundays and so on. I sometimes feel like I lost my early 20s doing all that work...

Then I changed positions in the same company and I did overtime for free occasionally. Not something I ever plan to do again. I was simply too loyal and got taken advantage of.

I then went contract for approximately 9 years. The best years if you ask me. I still worked 45 to 50 hours a week and on one contract it was 65 hours. The hourly rate was good and I got some good deals out of it.

When the time is right I don't plan to stick around this place. Unfortunately the job market isn't that great and probably won't get better for some time.

18 years to the day, never worked contract, always a salaried employee and never got a dime in overtime pay...good old 'Murica!

In the US I can understand why working contract would be seen as detrimental considering all the benefits that come with being employed are important to one's well being.

Here in the UK and Australia the benefits of full time employment are not that great. You don't really gain much other than paid vacation, sickness and if you're lucky training. The only other aspect is the 'security' but in today's market that's questionable. The hourly wage for contracting used to be a selling point for contracting but as there's not much work around the hourly rate has dropped so for the moment, staff it is.
