I effectively get a pay raise while flaming

My original title: Shenanigans....more of which i partake in


So, we all know it's the holiday season. There were a few holidays, and we here got the 23rd, 26th, and will have the 2nd off. I assumed I would only get paid for the time i was actually at work, so like 30, 26.5, and 26.5 hours these three weeks of break, or 83 total.



NOOOOOPE. I get paid three weeks at "full-time", including holidays. That's 112.50 hours. Effectively paying me 9.50 an hour for when I'm here, instead of the meesly feeling $7 (hey, it is an internship, and really I'm not doing much shit)

:D :D


Oh well, i've recently kept from posting personal or biographical content (besides of course my baby momma), but this make me chuckle (and perhaps feel a little guilty). Although I did finish a project today and am doing some good work altogether.




This is quite good news for a Purdue student. :drink: :drink:

Just a taste of things to come once you finish school and start really enjoying life with such things as bills, taxes, responsibility, etc. I had the 23rd and 26th off as well as the 30th (today) and Jan. 2....two four-day weekends in a row. Last week I only worked three days but got paid for five. Nice.

But getting paid while flaming away on a forum is just pure gravy baby :-D

Paid holidays, whats the big deal? Wait until you get paid vacation. Then you'll be happy.

True dat. Although I haven't actually done so yet. 15 months and I've only taken 1 day off and been sick for 1 day, plus worked lots of weekends. Aircraft's a b*tch, ain't it, Jonathan?

Wait 'til you work for yourself. "Paid" vacation ceases to exist. :p
