weekend? after 6 years in the security industry working days, nights, bank holidays, Christmas days, 7 day weeks etc, I don't think in terms of monday/friday/weekend/bank holiday - everyday is just a workday
Quite right BigDaz, i used to offshore on the rigs where we also worked 24/7/365. Only time the rig ever stopped was so we could sit down once for Christmas Dinner and that was only 30 mins.
You do need a break and family time but it doesnt have to be at the usual times!
