35 hours would be a long week for me, I don't need to earn "serious coin".


Rats you are working very long hours.I do 30 hours a week and I think it is to long.I hope to drop to 25 hours a week by the end of next year.House long paid for,only child through college(with a great job) wife works.Sure all I need is beer money.

I don't do 35 hours regularly, TD. In fact I've only exceeded 30 hours a handful of times in the last couple of years, invariably influence by bonus chasing. My average would be closer to 20 hours/week taking holidays, lazy months, etc into account.

However, I wouldn't consider 35 hours to be excessive. Most full time employees do that as a minimum and spend another few hours commuting. Of course, it's not an exact science. While I might feel tired after a relatively short shift, a younger fitter man would be capable of doing the same again and hitting a disco bar afterwards!

Given that you're not a younger, fitter man that seems realistic. You can create job satisfaction by setting yourself readily achievable monetary targets, I guess mytaxi's dedicated shifts do similar in setting (not so readily achievable) job targets.

I have a mortgage, kids going to college, holidays to pay for and all of that but Mrs. Catcher works too and the young lads have part-time jobs to earn their own pocket money. Work-Life balance is important. If you took the bonuses and charged full fare you could probably drastically reduce the hours you work.

Of the 6 mytaxi jobs I have done this week, I would have an extra 6 bucks in my pocket.
Don’t work nights so bonus no good to me.
My priority is with my base who I pay a sub to each month.

I work 4 nights a week and that a struggle. The thought of getting into the car on a Saturday night is horrible, and while I try to have a nap before I go out, and end up staying in bed, and hating that I didn't go out the night before. What I'm usually thinking about most, is why the hell didn't I drive an automatic.

If it's Automatic, send the car out on  it's own! 8)
