    Hey I-A.

    You've split with Ste? I have to admit I missed that! Sorry to hear it.

    Good luck with the band practice.

    30 hours a week? Nice.

    One of my bosses told me and a colleague off for doing too much overtime, saying it would burn us out. I was on 50 hours overtime that month (juicy paycheck time) and my colleague was on 60. My boss did 100 hours overtime that very month. Pot, kettle, black anyone?

    I once worked with someone who did 120 hours overtime in a month. There was as much as anyone wanted and she just worked all hours.

    Sar - good luck. I think you'll be fine. Might be a bit awkward but remember it's about the music ;)

    My boss is also salaried which was part of what surprised me. He didn't get paid for all that overtime! :eek: Personally I come into work to get paid.

    It has to be said that he's a bl00dy good engineer, though, and the fact that we've got so much work at the moment is partly down to him.
  • Blimey Sar, like your new Avator pic :)

    oh god, I've just felt my stomach flip.

    I've just read that the apartments we are due to stay in are closed until further notice from 31/10 due to problems with the heating and in the split second I read it, I couldn't remember when we were going (22/10!!) I just saw 'closed until further notice' :eek: and it all went a bit bleurgh for a second!

    Should be ok though, it's still 21-22C during the day and 9 or 10C at night, not exactly freezing.
