I just had to do it, it seemed too awesome not to. I spent most of yesterday and today at my grandmother's summer cabin and I'll probably go back there tomorrow because... well, there's not much to do here. More summer stuff available over there and there's sun, water and just... my grandmother, delicious ice-cream etc. However, watching Supernatural there doesn't really work and I was excited about checking my email (waiting on some Snape/Lily fic betaing getting back to me) and well... I have to write that Master/Lucy fic like now so I don't get hanged when the ficathon end-date is up. Which I need to recheck by the way. Also, I wonder just how much of a shipper fic I can make that fic. Oh well.

Also, you people that work: Is part-time compatible with school? I'm thinking about applying for a job at McDonalds *groan* and they're looking for full-time and part-time workers and I was wondering if the latter would fit into my life so it doesn't like... crash with school.

It depends on what times you're willing to work I guess... in my last year of high school I definitely could have gotten a part time job considering my schedule. 4 hours of school each day at most! Some days it was only one 1 hour lesson... If you apply, just ask for what shifts they have and see if there's any that doesn't clash with school hours.

Okies, so I suppose I have to wait until I get my schedule to apply to any kind of job? :)

Well, at least to be safe... unless you want to work late hours, in the evening... being McDonalds they most likely have weekend shifts too. You could call and ask them about the working hours and let them know you're interested. :)

Yeah, and I mean... I just saw that I can apply until the 27th, and I don't start school until the 23rd, so then I'll definitely know my schedule... Wooohooo!

Part-time certainly is compatible, all you got to do when applying is mention what hours you're free.

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

Awesome :D *keeps fingers crossed that I'll get a job there*

Yeah, it depends on your schedule. And I forget whether you're in high school or university so, my experience: I had a part-time job for 1.5 years during high school and only worked 4-12 hours a week and it was easy as pie. I tend to work more hours with my jobs now, and it's a little harder because I actually have to do homework in college as opposed to high school, but I also spend less time in class so I'm able to make it work. Most people I know can make it work, too, and some of my friends even have multiple part-time jobs (basically working a full-time status in addition to school). I could never do that, but they're super-human, or something.

Wow. Working full-time in addition to school? I could never do that. *hopes that my schedule is gonna be a good one like last year, or better*

Woo-hoo! I report ya to the Eljay ppl! Go me! :p

As for the working bit, well I'm fortunate I guess. Because my job is being a free-lance writer/journalist. So, I don't even have to go to the office unless they need me there (which is never) and I do my work from home or anywhere so long as there's a PC and I have all my material ready. Best part is, if I'm too busy with university, I can turn down the writing assignments. :)

lol. Oh yes, I'm keeping my eye on you ;)

That's so awesome. I so wish I could do that. Or maybe not... I'd prefer a job where I'd get out of my house :P Sort of. How did you land the writing gig?

[frickangel.livejournal.com]

Oh, I definitely get out of the house. Still need to do interviews and photoshoots. XD

As for the writing gig... hmmm... it's funny how most of the things that have happened to me just sort of fall into my lap. The writing gig started before I entered university. I was a stringer for a newspaper here, then quit before I started my term. Then later that year, another newspaper had openings for youth writers that accomadate to a student's schedule. So I applied for it and got it. :)
