When you all go to work every day with the exception of the weekend, you will have reason to moan about going back to school after 6 weeks off.

I wish I was still at school... sad.gif

I get one day off every week. I'll be going to school 5 days a week (working 8 hours on 3 of those days), working 1 8 hour day on the weekend, with one weekend day off each week for the next three years of school.

Right now, I'm in the midst of a 7 day stretch of 8+ hour days without a day off, or 12 days with 1 day off.

Pah, when I was in TAFE I was doing 10+ hour days sometimes, then working from 2 am to 6 am. Whingers tongue.gif.

I concur, Quidgiboo.
Whingers, the lot of you.
10+ hours at Tafe, 10 hour shifts at work, every third day has one or the other off.

So glad for labor laws and unions here. Only 40 hours a week. biggrin.gif

geez. The most I ever worked during school was 8 hours on saturdays and sundays, and little dinky 5 hours shifts at night a couple nights a week.

I still don't know if I'm getting a job during college. I don't know if I'll have time, but I only have about $1000 saved, (and $1000 for my Germany/World Cup trip, which doesn't even look like it'll be enough to pay for a plane ticket at the moment). But my first day of classes is August 31st, *weep*.

When did you two sleep, and what were your 10+ hour jobs?

You can't buy a plane ticket with $1k? What the hell are you doing, trying to buy the whole plane? That's insane. blink.gif

Well I looked up flights from Philadelphia to say, Munich, for next June, and all flights cost from 970 to 1200 crying.gif Their average has definitely gone up $200, I think I saw something about that on CNN.

Wow. That's outrageous. Good luck finding something cheap.

I'm flying to Denver sometime in the vaguely near future, and Qantas, the BIG Austrailian airline charge $2219 minimum for a return fare.

The person paying for the ticket reckons he can get me one for $1300 US, return Sydney to Denver, but we'll see.

Plane travel is damn expensive in this country, and our dollar's not as nice.
