let's see... 
my photography club meetings on Monday, run 20:00-22:00.
my Photography lectures on thursday run 18:00-21:30.
Meditation night on wednesday is 20:00-23:30...

what's wrong with those hours?

you must not have left the university walls lately. I have been working
300 hour months, especially at Startups. some places put 9 daily hours
in the contract and still expect 10 at least. show me 8 hours a day and
a good salaray and I'm sure it will be some governemnt job or something.
almost nobody in the private sector HiTech works like that, other than
maybe service-oriented people.

Luckily, this is what I am, I work 8-17 (still, 9 hours a day), but
today we had a sales meeting, one of those monthly things that are
always set at the ed of the work day so as not to disappear on the
clients for too long). At least it was fun, I talked to a bunch of
salesmen about how to make money in Free Software and GNU/Linux

tell that to a startup-hopping entrepreneur. most of them work their
people 10-12 hours a day.

NM, good night everyone...
