What a way to try and score puff

WORK TO LIVE NOT LIVE TO WORK Surely with your qualifications, work credentials and experience it should be possible to downsize your job and still receive a worthwhile remuneration package but for much less stress than that which you are...

I'm a City of London lawyer. I get through the morning by drinking a lot of tea and then disappearing into a mental pit of stress, pressure and depression, before rising phoenix-like sometime between 1 and 4pm, to get a chicken salad sandwich and...

I have 15 jobs and the longest is 2 hours. most of my clients are older than me and rely on me to look after them so it keeps me happy if I have left them with a smile on their face. The worst part of the job is the physical aspect as my knees...
