directionless Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 One time I had two jobs at the same time, so I had to work 7 days a week. I remember feeling like I wanted to cry sometimes. Probably you will feel better as you get closer to the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellinas Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I understand some of what you said. Django with what??? Anyhow, I also am heartily sick of my job. I find a large whisky on a Friday night helps a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator TrueFreedom Posted July 11, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 11, 2015 I support a few apps which run on django. It's honestly a huge pain in the ass, especially the PHP stuff. I'm constantly chasing down security holes. Anway, good luck on your new career path. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 Thank you. I was a bit drunk and didn't expect any actual replies. Haha. Yeah. So we're building a team project this weekend to present Monday using Django and Python (a language named after Monty Python originally). It's an online restaurant menu and order tracking site with mgr staff and customer logins. A cart and buildable menus for the mgr. I built a message and rating capability into it today. This is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life and yes I do feel like crying sometimes. I've had two days off in the last 8 weeks. I'll be here for at least 5 more weeks and as many after that as necessary to pass expectations. i desperately needed new skills for pt 2 of my life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeThinkerNZ Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I really don't understand courses or jobs that have no days off. That's just asking for people to get sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss chatting with you. The high intensity is a feature and not a flaw. I quit my job to do this so the faster I can get through the better. This is why they offer the break-neck pace. I do think it will kill me if I keep this pace much longer but it's necessary for now. 5 more weeks of class and I can relax a bit and start having weekends again while I job hunt etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm there most days, in the evening your time... not that you have spare time to chat atm though Thanks for explaining, I understand it better now. I once worked two jobs, and had no days off for a month, by the end of it I had a really bad cold or maybe flu and couldn't work for a week anyway, so it was all for nothing. That was when I was 20... I wouldn't last more than a week doing that now, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
