100k per year is never gonna happen for an employee unless he sells the wacky weed as well. Local & Federal laws make that kinda risky.

Umm, given the work involved, and the skills required, 35k doesn't sound too bad.

It would take a million per year to get me to stand around in a stinky cigar lounge.

I would rather work at the sewage treatment plant.

The Port Campbell Pub, used to be owned by a friends parents so spent a few lost weekends down there as well. Used to climb down the cliffs set of stairs and go to a small beach below the cliffs, which had a tunnel that went to one of the other small beaches. And the huge blowhole cavern, everything is spectacular, take heaps of photos and get out of bed early to get pictures of the apostles, and in the sunset as well.

Im not saying it's terribly difficult work, but at nearly 80hrs/wk...35k works out ti well below minimum wage and about half the hourly wage one can make flipping burgers on the island.

I would think that the laws about working overtime would apply.

I have worked some 80 and 90 hour weeks. There is no time for anything but work, eat, work, and a little sleep, work. I was getting overtime however.

overtime is a job classification issue. I used to get time and a half but now that I am sort of a manager I get straight time for antthing over 40. Now the wife is a lawyer and before she was a partner she was on a salary no o.t. working lots of hours.

I am so glad I only work 40 now. 20 years of a 60 hour work week had gotten old



Evening Y'all

Hey Rick is it possible the power pole is in an easement in which case you might just have a fight on your hands.
