You have my comdolences. I work for an Engineer company, and when the release time is close, a lots of weekends I ougth to work. I remember last year, when I worked 12+ hours every single day in August, and all my friends were in the beach or in vacations and I was the only one working on weekends.

Please don´t get so relaxed about safety, we would not wish you getting sick or whatever.

Good luck and comdolences.

That´s even worse Please don´t let your mood to take any unnecesary risk. Otherwise, I would need more oportunities to read your superb Richard Dawkins signature

Now, seriously, take care. Working on Saturdays is horrible, so what we can do is to hope it will be for the best. Good luck!

Find a way for my presentation to have more than two slides in it. Mutant monsters

Mutanty Goodness

I guess you already tought about this, but can´t you fill in slides with the method of your investigation instead of the output? If you are following any new approach that may make sense and make room for a few more slides.

I'm so sorry Maybe you are being too hard with yourself? Are you sure that 4 months is enough time? Have other people in the same situation got results in such a short timeframe?

Anyone going to take pity on me or join me in solidarity about working on weekends? I'll offer you solidarity, comdrade. I've done a lot of weekend work over the years.

Way back in my early 20's I used to work for Tandy, and I had to go in every saturday morning unpaid to do telephone support.

More recently I've regularly worked weekends to meet deadlines and go-live commitments on data migration projects, though at least I got paid for some of these.

[JAMES PIETERSE]

I would happily work on saturday/sunday given that choice and possibility to have day off during mon-fri. Weekends are boring, maybe i should start to slip towards alcoholism again..

[Equackasous]

yaroslav, are you a Serbian terrorist wanna be looking for info on the world's end or something? Doleing out condolances while seeking the secrets of mass human suffering? Or not? If not, nevermind. If so

"Have other people in the same situation got results in such a short timeframe?"

Yes! In 4 months YOU TOO can create a hell raising life eating monster in a petree dish!

And better weather. You could freeze to death staggering back home here.

Across the street there lives my wife's gay childhood friend. He works for one of the cruise lines, often in the Carribean. When he is here the house across the street has lots of guests that are a bit different. We have dances in the streets at Christmas time and several show up and have a blast too. They speak english well.

While I've got a captive audience, can someone explain to me how North Americans living outside the few dense urban cities (New York, S.F., etc) manage to have a proper drunken night out? Like, in the UK, I routinely pub crawl and club hop thanks to the frequent buses/Tube/or just the fact that we build our cities more compact and I can walk everywhere, including back home.

But I look at a place like L.A. where the car is so undeniably king and I just have no idea how you manage to go out, get drunk and get home without spending a fortune on taxis. Especially if you live in the suburbs (I never recall seeing a bus once when I lived in suburban America). Designated drivers?

I normally work every saturday. I spend roughly 6 hours in a small office all by myself, usually on poly or other sites to waste my time. It's very boring, but I make enough money that it doesn't bother me.

I have today off though, because I'm doing the last bits of planning for my birthday party.

[antonyandruleit]

Though I like your attitudes to H&S I normally spill stuff when I where gloves so I don't normally bother

[77chawzence]

Gloves? I'd be in a space suit playing with that stuff. Besides, space suit might protect from yaroslav's radioactive heavy metal ants.

[MilenaMKB]

Yeah, my left ankle seems to be aching a bit with the running so I will have to take that easy. I am not in on a Sunday today, although I often go in as I get paid huge sums of cash for doing it

[whimpykid]

Yeah, that figures I know I was on a lot less than minimum wage back in my day - it is why I had to live at home for so long.

[samanthalueus]

May you have better luck today

Ah. Huge sums of money. You know, I did the maths last night while walking to the pub and, as a Ph.D. student, given the hours I work and the funding I get, I actually get paid a bit less than minimum wage per hour? If it's only a bit less, then you're not working hard enough...
