Philosophical Conundrum
I work long hours. This means I get good money. I need money. So I signed up for some even longer hours. I was smug that I had found a way to get more money.
Then someone reminded me I've been given a pay rise. More money anyway. And long hours.
Do I win or lose?

Win, win. Plus it's a finite arrangement – work while you still can.

You lose. I did a nine-hour shift on a Saturday starting at 6am a few weeks ago, and even though I made over £100 on the deal, I still felt like I lost on the transaction.

Hahaha, I'm a child of the 21st century, I will never have a pension, a morgage or any job security. Cynical? Nah mate, just preparing for the worst…

Lose. Longer hours means you don't have time to spend that extra money.

Win. Work hard for a while, quit later and blow the cash big style.
