    Changing an alternator. And a camshaft synchronizer. Beer will definitely be involved. Going to get my moneys worth out of my labor, hehe.

    Other than that, I'll just be playing Mad Max and relaxing. Might go shooting on Sunday.

    Work, work and work. Did I mention work? :p Might go outside if the weather isn't too miserable, otherwise UT fragging it is (with a few shots of Ouzo).

    Me and the wife are moving some stuff around. My computer room is being turned into a nursery (I have my first child on the way :thumbup: ), so we are getting rid of the spare bedroom furniture and making that the computer room/office. You don't realize how much **** you have till you need to move it.

    Here in the US we have a lot of things to be thankful for the earlier accomplishments of unions.

    1. Five day work week
    2. Holidays - like Labor Day
    3. Noted days like Mother's Day
    4. OSHA - as much as I hate OSHA inspections

    Labor Day is a National holiday to spend time with family and friends instead of work, work, work. Snippet about the holiday: http://www.dol.gov/laborday/history.htm

    The UK has a 5 day working week (Unless you're a skivvy)
    Holidays (Not labour day though)
    Noted days like Mothers day
    Never heard of OSHA

    Nice idea though, there is likely an equivalent over here

    Not directly. It is because of the efforts from certain unions that we have Labor Day. OSHA is another result from union endeavors. You mentioned that you had not heard of OSHA before, so a link to what OSHA stands for and does was given.

    Our Labour Day is on May 1st here in Brazil.


    When I read the title of the thread, I swear I thought it might be something like Valentine's Day; yours is in February, but ours is on June 12th.

    Well, I've got a 2½ year old daughter, so when we can, we travel to my brother's house in a city upstates which, by the way, is quite pleasant and she loves it!

    Next holiday is only in October (Children's Day) and I think I'll stay home - things are not so good here in Brazil, so money's being an issue for us at the moment!
