How many hours are you talking about? Because I work generally every day (Mon-Wed for 2hrs an arvo per day) and random shifts Thurs-Sun at Oporto, but it's not full time... I'm lucky if I can get 20hrs a week. So I'm not really that tired, but I wish I could have more shifts... or at least worthwhile shifts. I mean, I have 1/2hr travelling to and from the pharmacy, it's really not worth my while to work just 2 hrs.
