/me doesnt really get a summer vacation either
I'm working full time and weekends are too short to get to travel at all.

not to mention the fact that it hasnt been above 20 around here for more than a day at a time yet.

Addicting games? I love that site, though most of the newer games are terrible (better than I could do as of now, but still terrible). I assume you are a teacher, jeffgreco? And you play games when you're supposed too be working? How come you can't be my teacher?

Yup, exactly my problem too... only it's 3 midterms for 5 courses; and part-time work (30h/week) too. I can't wait until the 27th, a week's vacation is definitely needed.

I haven't had a proper summer vacation in 5 years. This summer and the past summer I've worked fulltime co-op during the summer with about a week off before and after.

The two summers before that I worked at McDonald's part-time. It wasn't as many hours (about 30 a week, and I didn't have to drive 1 hour to get there), but it still wasn't the do-nothing summer I had after grade 9 (or like most of my classmates now have - because they STILL don't have jobs).

But believe me, especially if you're in post secondary and a serious relationship, you need a job. I make $400 a week and still struggle (and I live with my parents!)

Aziz did you ever try or mention the word "union"?

During your McDonald's job?

There was no union at McDonalds - and no one cared, really. The management only got paid $10/hr cap, and I make more then that sitting at a computer. But it's good work for a 15-year-old. Union doesn't do much for you at that point except take money. They were actually pretty good at dealing with employees, at least they were for my first. Hence I went to WalMart instead. Which also sucked. So did my next job =/
