Done 1/10th of gosh darn all... Working over 80hrs/week has kinda seen to it I've had time for little else other than earning cash, and playing cars on the few days I've had off this year.

Lacking in motivation badly. Have been doing sprints etc when I've had time and not felt like a$$, so at least it's something but overall, pathetic!

Work will hopefully calm down in the near future I hope.

working... great for the wallet but bad for your health

not a helluva lot you can do with an 80hr working week... well not if you intend to have a social life!

you should consider getting an adjustable dumbbell set and some bands for home so you can start working on those shoulders... even just 20min before/after work, start strengthening those rotator cuffs etc

Pretty much sums up my life since early Dec.

Put onto 2 huge projects, was very well compensated but the hours were rather... unsavoury and pulling 18hrs straight on a few occasions simply isn't going to help anything health wise.

Planning to make some changes this year lifestyle wise.

Might even head down to PTC and see what can be done. I work well when I'm pushed externally, simply wont do it on my own - I are teh lazy!

All I'll say is this - Money isnt everything. You can get by with very little.

Q: Ash, do you enjoy your job? If not, are you going to do something about it?

Never forget you simply must have a healthy balance between "life" and "work"

Anyway, good luck with the year ahead. Make it a good one - for YOU.

I do enjoy it sometimes. Nothing like an absurd paycheck that I can get. Not someone that's excited to go to work everyday however.

I could indeed get buy on very little, but then I'd end up living in a shoebox out in the sticks (travel time of... ridiculous), share a place with someone, not have a GTR, not attend car events, not worry about spending anywhere/time etc. Happy with my outside of work lifestyle.

Just work at times takes over, and i freely let it.

So the next 3 months going to make a concentrated effort at not taking on the extra hours and only doing it one week a month (as that's the min requirement for oncall).

I'll get a silly amount of "hours" back in a week so will be very flexible to concentrate on eating and training and whatever else pops up just does. Sleeping isn't a problem for me, 8hrs a night no problemo!

  • 10 months later...
  • 3 weeks later...

I never got around to sorting the shoulder out... And now I'm just plain lazy at the moment and cant be fked.

Well not lazy - I've had no income for 6 months and starting up a new business trading 7 days lunch/dinner :)

I did get down to PTC last year to watch Nick, rumour is there is one opening not far from me (5mins as opposed to a 40min one way drive) - So hopefully that comes about as i need a trainer, I just can't motivate myself on my own. I'm still eating great and haven't been sick at all - just no heavy weights.

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
