Yes - this job is a paid jolly, but it's a paid jolly that comes with a hell of a lot of responsibility and plays absolute havok with your body and your personal life.
But I don't need nor want sympathy for that - I signed up for it. What I do want - and hope for - is that the public sees that there's a lot more to this job than meets the eye.
At last some sense! I could not agree with you more. If I hear one more CC moaning and whingeing on the radio about "all the time spent away from home" and "loneliness downroute" im going to do my nut! What on earth do expect when you sign up for longhaul CC?!!
For goodness sake, if you dont enjoy it - push off and make way for someone more enthusiastic who will make the most of the opportunites the job offers, instead of delsey-dining and living in a state of perpeptual misery. It would brighten up the workplace no end....
