21st October 2013
Greetings! 
This week's survey


(These survey questions are sent in by our readers. Please spend a minute to give your answer to this week's survey as one or possibly more of your industry peers thinks this question is important and wishes to see your point of view as well as others in the industry.)

Last week's survey 
  • 50 hours in normal times and 60 hours in busy times
  • As many as required, at least 60 in busy times and perhaps only 40 in slack times. Also depends on your definition of work, I always have work on my mind, so when I am not physically working, I am thinking about it and thinking about ways to improve the business - that's work, isn't it!
  • due to the lack of business about 20. This is not emplying things are bad the 20 hours worked are very profitable.
  • Just try to work Mon to Fri only so about 50hrs.. If you work any more than that the family dont like it and you end up divorced and everything gone. So must put a limit on it otherwise your just kidding youself and your business
  • As a sole trader I work between 60 - 70 hours per week. Of that 50% would be on running the business, (quoting, invoicing, all the book work, cleaning, maintence, etc.)
  • Anywhere from 50 plus.
  • 80
  • Average 60 hours per week.
  • 50
  • Too many and I am getting very tired
  • At least 50 a week normally

(NSW, Rosebery) Canon Wide format iPF8100 printer,
44" (1.11m) wide. Running perfectly. Recently had both printheads replaced with new items. Reasonable amount of ink left. All nozzles firing perfectly. Comes with lots of rolls of paper and canvas, worth hundreds. Comes with two roll paper holders, one for 2" core rolls and one for 3" core. Takes cut sheet paper too. Huge colour gamut from the 12 inks. Unbelievable quality and fast, quiet economical printing.
Pickup is in Rosebery, NSW 2018. This unit is large and heavy and requires removalists to move properly. Some ink will be lost during the move, because the print heads have to be drained before it can be moved.
Inspections welcome, call me on 0419631619 for an appointment.

Koala

A koala was sitting in a gum tree smoking a joint (as they do!) when a little lizard walked past, looked up and said, 'Hey Koala! What are you doing?' 
The koala said, 'Smoking a joint, come up and have some.'  So the little lizard climbed up and sat next to the koala where they enjoyed a few joints. 
After a while the little lizard said that his mouth was 'dry' and that he was going to get a drink from the river. The little lizard was so stoned that he leaned over too far and fell into the river. 
A crocodile saw this and swam over to the little lizard and helped him to the side. Then he asked the little lizard, 'What's the matter with you?' The little lizard explained to the crocodile that he had been sitting with the koala in the tree, smoking a joint, but got too stoned and fell into the river while taking a drink.. 
The crocodile said that he had to check this out and walked into the rain forest, found the tree where the koala was sitting finishing a joint. The crocodile looked up and said, 'Hey you!' 
So the koala looked down at him and said, Bloody hell how much water did you drink!?'
