OK

I get to be a student, and hang out with rock chicks like the girl in your avatar.

You get to be a project manager in the construction industry, with 3 project managers working under you, four sites on the go, five tenders to complete, eight sets of plans to work up and my mad accountant to deal with. On the plus side you do get a finished Indy BEC!

I am taking the wee slightly, but still...

I am currently pulling 14-16 hour days, and half of sunday working on projects and assignments. Soon to be revision for finals. At least at work you can leave it at the gates to a certain extent. I am trying to coordinate a group of 19 people to build a car, not all of whom are commited or capable (normal work I hear you shout!).

Its all good fun when I think about it. But still more stressful than your average student life.

My only solace is cheap JD...

Oh Dear.. Whats wrong with holidays?
Its the end of the year (March31st), and a lot of people have to use up their leave, or they will loose it, like me.

I had the week before last off, and finished my Ramps. Went in for a week to clear up some crap that acumulated whilst I was off work and in the shed.
Now I have to take this coming week off as well, hopefully with get me scrap Fiesta Mot'd.
Then I can start on the Viento bushes that are a bit tight and need easing to stop the stiffness and squeeking.

Unfortunately that brings me to the end of the year, and I still have to carry over the max (5 days) we are allowed to next year.
I just dont seem to have the time to take my holiday entitlement.
I only get 58.5 days + statutory hols (Xmas, easter, etc) a year.
I find it stressfull trying to plan it, and fit it all in.





1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

well it is tempting to live the life of a student again but I'm afraid that that if you swapped with me you'd make out with the wife and take the dog for a walk, both of which would be deeply troubling.

So the answer is no
