3 over 5, 1 over 5, and 5 over 8

This is how I earn a living nowadays. Paid by the day and paid by the hour.

3 days over 5 days a week - means a contract for 5 months but actually only 3 months will be paid.

1 day charged to another contract - means need to swiftly shift my brain cells to the other side any given day a week.

5 hours over 8 working hours - every Saturday til my brains cannot take it anymore. Remuneration equivalent to 10 over 100 of the other contracts but keep me sane and braincells alive.

If it is true that time is gold, does it mean that I am richer these days because I have more time?

Claims?

Thee may sound morbid but thy are instructions (family, friends, others) in case a similar fate befalls thee:

1. Thou shall not agree to any resettlement or waiver. Let the court decide the just and fair compensation;

2. Thou shall get the best lawyers for thee (c/o Cynthia's siblings and Milette G.). The remuneration can be covered by item (1); and

3. Thou shall not endevour to retrieve thy body. Thee rather be entombed in the sea and than be retrieved whilst no person can agnize thy body.
