Re: Electronics - how to ruin a good hobby. A story with no morals...

I read in sci.electronics.design that Roger Lascelles <despam_rklasl@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote (in <1125038534.5d823798ebd22cbab46d9720a01dcdaf@teranews>) about 'Electronics - how to ruin a good hobby. A story with no morals...', on Fri, 26 Aug 2005:

My situation is this : my health is poor, so I only work a part week. To pay the rent on the house, I have increased my work hours to more than I can handle, so I am fatigued and my brain doesn't work properly.

It might well be in your employer's interest, as well as that of you and your family, to re-negotiate your payments for this reason. Say you need to earn AU$500/week (numbers just for illustration):

20 hours/week at AU$25/hour - not tired, good code after 20 hours (or less) - = AU$500

40 hours/week at AU$12.5/hour - tired, not so good code after all of 40 hours (or even more) - = AU$500.

If I were your employer, I'd much rather have scenario 1.
