My Dad had to work every day for 2 years. Had 3 jobs. Luckily for him he has a good immune system and so doesn't get sick very often, but even when he did he still went in.

[PingSpike]

Could be worse. At least you're not in Iraq.

 

[SP33Demon]

Well at least Willie Randolph is the new manager

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

At first I thought it said "every other day," the whole time I was thinking how much I hate you because you only have to work about half the week

All that for a letter of recommendation? Worthless - you're being used.

Yes, it was very hard. Got my family on their feet though. My parents were able to buy a house because of it.

Just shows what hard work and dedication can do for you. A lot of people are stuck in holes because they aren't willing to put forth the required effort.

edit: Congrats btw on putting forth that effort :thumbsup:

well i didnt get into the top grad school i wanted last time, and the only thing that I can really improve now is the Letter of rec and personal statement, so its my choice to get where i want, but yes...yes i am

yes weekends too, if it was just the holidays i wouldnt mind too much

Sorry to hear that, sounds like the life I lived at the Collecti...err, I mean, Microsoft...Working 7 days a week blows!!!

And just for your enjoyment, I get Thur. and Fri. off the week of Thanksgiving and then will be taking off the entire next week because I have vacation days that I need to use before the end of the year. ;-)
