As did the diurnal schedule - I was turning into a vampire over at the bar - sleep all day, get up when the sun sets, and work all night. Yick. I lost my tan and everything.
Well, if you became programmer, you would have your face nicely tanned by the screen, otherwise it's not that good either.
Working at university might be fine, don't know, I've never actually tried it, but that's one of those careers I might wanna try in the future. Well, I have my fiungers crossed for you.




Paulie, it's just that I come from a region, where we literally swim on water, the biggest drinking water reservoirs are here, just 4 to 7m (13 - 23m) below our feet, it rains here more intensively than in England yet we have much more sunny days... That's what I love... My summers are usually made of 60% water (at least 14hours/day close to some water), 'cause it's a place of meetings and social activities.
I really can't imagine living in the desert. If only my summers where longer... But I maybe wouldn't appreciate them so much.

That night time waitressing starts to look very attractive at this point. Well, at least there aren't any floods, are there?
