That poor sonofabitch worked 18 hours a day 7 days a week for the next two years. Since Canada had no helicopters in Europe at that time I worked about 2 hours a day and never saw a weekend duty. I did eventually branch out into jet aircraft so ended up spending a whole 4 hours a day working though.
I did do 4 months driving staff car at CAF Headquarters in Ottawa. There is not a hope in hell I would ever have wanted to be an officer's driver on a prolonged basis. It sucks!
