[QUOTE="kme, post: 5000, member: 113"] We all make rules about "Downtime". Some of us won`t answer the `phone when there`s footy on. Some turn off the mobile at 7.00 p.m. (alter as appropriate) Some just don`t "do" weekends. Us - our downtime is Sunday afternoons. At about 1.00 p.m., we open a large bottle of wine. Then another. I don`t (can`t) go anywhere or do anything. Yesterday (Sunday) ; 12.55. `Phone rings. It`s an Indian fella, whom I`ve never met or worked for. He`s got a restaurant about 10-15 mins from my house. The industrial extractor fan isn`t working. I offer him Monday morning. Rates`ll be high, as it`s a bank holiday. He wants it now - today! After a bit of sign language between me & the missus; I agree to go and "have a look". 33 mins later, I`m back in the house. Cold glass of wine, and [/QUOTE]
