I used to love doing the ultra long-haul European work back in the day but now work is just a means to an end, working in the Winter and taking the Summer off, in fact I finish my present job this Friday (and would have finished a few weeks ago but I need to get my boat into the dry dock for blacking and other under-the-waterline work and I couldn’t get a slot until 22nd April) and then I’ll just be out narrowboating until my savings run out. Going to go to the Caldon Canal first and then Llangollen I think, although plans are always liable to change as time progresses.
I’ve been working for a nice firm but the work is repetitive and a bit tedious so I’d say I tolerate it rather than love it.
