The "9 to 5" slot ...
it does not really exist,
it does not reflect your real world,
like the time spent travelling to and from work,
the early starts that seem to begin before sunrise,
the unplanned and regular demands of family,
the bloody clock on the dash of the ute
that flicks and flicks, counting ever
upwards in the dark.

iF YOU ARE REALLY LUCKY,
you might get between
3000 to 5000 Tuesdays in your life. That's it!
Your life, today, is not a practice run.

While the 'classic balance'
was 8 hours a day for work, rest and play
and today's demands seem to stretch this
to the point of breaking ....

... you can help put work,
rest and play back into order
just by changing your attitudes
to the different tasks.

Commuting can be fun,
Share a joke with mates
at work to lighten the load,
A short nap in a meal time break
can rejuvenate
your mind and body,
Leave the ute in the car park
and walk short distances
at your worksite.
