Weekend Warriors

Only being able to ice fish on weekends for me is a real downer Anyone else get the feeling on Monday mornings that there are 5 more "Mondays" to go until ice fishing resumes   hang on --gotta go chase that flag

I'm right there with you Tropher.  I get around 25 days a year off plus holidays, and I planned on taking a week off to ice fish this winter, in addition to some Fridays or Mondays.  My company is going through contract extension negotiations, and I can't get a day off to save my soul.  I ain't b***hin' tho.... at least I have a job in this tough economy..... for now.

It drives me crazy .  I work M-F 8 to 6 (2-3 late nights).

I am one of 3 that oversee the messaging systems for a very large Bank.

But it's cool because my boss is a fisherman and I take him out in my boat in Erie for eyes in the summer.  So he lets me "work from shanty" telecommute once in a while.  I have a spot in my Shappell 3000 for my laptop and blackberry to solve issues and provide support for 20k users.

It's great that I can sometimes fish and provide for my family at the same time!!!

Stay cool

right there with ya, i will get the odd friday cold, but other then those holiday-based long weekends, i only get out twice a week.  which is not enough.  just wont do.  i am going to quit my job tomorrow, thanks for the inspiration........... ...

My entire week at work is spent talking about ice fishing, discussing where I am going the next weekend and trying to figure out how to get the most out of those ten hours on the ice!!

I am self employed and winters are usually slow so I get to fish alot.... Not so much this year tons of work and its weekends only for me also. oh well with the way the economy is work is a good thing right now..

I know the feeling. I work a full time day job then a part time overnight and weekend job. I'm lucky if I get half a day to go out on a weekend. Why do I do it myself?

5 mondays in a row every week!    Drives me nuts. You will notice that all my posts appear monday-friday 7-5. I dont think I have placed a single one on a weekend. I'm on the ice. I do like the Idea of "work from shanty" that cracked me up. Wish I could tellecommute. Kinda tough though seeing as I work at a Commercial Building Supply Yard.

That is awesome, I was wondering if anyone took their laptop out on the ice........When I finally get to move back to Wisconsin, with my job, all I need is wireless connection and I can sit out in the shanty all day and fish, work, & fish some more!!!!  Can't wait!  But will be at least another year or two
