Hi all!


Myself, I've to work for 3 weeks at the Post Office in Turnhout, Belgium Belgium.

The good thing is, in my opinion, I'm getting paid very well. I earn 10,21 euro's/hour and I get 1 meal cheque a day, value of 6,5 euro's. I also receive transport costs, 1.6 euro's a day. On the other hand, I have to get up very early, I start working at 5.45 which means I have to get up at 4.50. My day ends when I've done my route & checked everything again that I've everything done. Sometimes it ends at 13 o'clock, sometimes later, sometimes earlier. But my contract is very nice, I earn from 5.45 till 13.51, if I finish my tasks at 12.51, I get paid for an hour extra. On the other hand, if I finish my tasks later as 13.51, I still get paid for those 7.15 hours.

Actually, I like the activities I have to do. I'm not a factory worker, working as a robot. When I arrive at the office, I have to sort a lot of lettres (which take lots of time) and after that, I have to sort some other things, like magazines, newspapers, etc. After that, I have to sort the lettres in a good way, in order that I can easily follow the route. The following step is to follow my route and put the lettres in the mail boxes!

And you guys? How about you?

random hours at random days doing random things and getting payed randomly
I worked 4 weeks, 8-15.30 (flexi time though, could come whenever i felt like but just stay there for long enough) at the IT department in the local community.
I worked with some programming stuff. What's cool about it is that I did the same thing last year, it owned, and they wanted me back this year. PLUS, I haven't even started my education yet. Getting a this relevant job (i'm gonna study computer engineering starting this august) 2 years before i start my education kindof owns tbh.
Earned around 14€ per hour, but if I'd worked for a private company (i had an offer to do some freelancing stuff) I'd have earned like 35€ per hour.. Norway FTW :P

Did I like it? Yup!
Norway is the richest country in Europe, isn't it ?
Parent
Worlds highest HDI, and 2nd highest BNP per inhabitant. Only beaten by Luxemburg there.

Our wealth is our curse tbh. We have tons of money, but that's all we have :S
Parent
Ok we have those too.. Thx for ruining my seriousness! =D
Parent
money,girls...now get german beer and you are perfect! :D
Parent
beer = super expensive :S
Parent
how much costs a beer crate up in the cold north?:P
Parent
If I go to a pub to buy a beer, it may easily cost me 7,5 €
Parent
LOL 2,5 max here!
and a crate?^^
Parent
nope, they're at our side of the border
Parent
Norwegian girls > swedish girls anytime
Parent
no chance!
Parent

Parent
