How long was your break?
I slept my entire afternoon off too, but to be fair I was just catching up on sleep I missed because I was working off of like 3 hours of sleep and had an online summer course just yesterdayThis is me today.
>Went to sleep at 12:30 yesterday cause I was watching Bleach and my mom forced me to stop.
>Forced to wake up at 5:30 to drop off my sister with my family.
>Can't even have coffee or breakfast cause it's to late.
>After dropping off my sister dad goes and drives off to drop mom and her coworker at their workplace.
>Have to walk all the way home from the place I dropped my sister off.
>Sees Dad hasn't come home yet and it's 7:15
>Decides to nap till it's 8 thinking that dad will wake me up so he can drop me off at a dunkin donuts so I can pick up a job application before he goes to work.
>Dad doesn't wake me up, instead wake by myself and check time
>it's 2:28
>Realize I just slept my entire afternoon off.
>This is fine
Breaks?
Technically we have no breaks. But there's lunch. which is around 40 minutes. But we're eating with kids.
Sounds like you just want a pre-AC4 game from what fans say about them.
Oddly enough, I noticed another difference between Darcy (our Cocker Spaniel) and Butters (our shorkie).
The former, despite being generally nice, does have the off-chance of snapping at you, with kids not being an exception. The latter? Never happened and likely never will.
Also, Darcy seems to be pretty chill around cats from what I remember(other dogs is kind of an ehh), but Butters goes after them with no remorse. I don't remember how the latter is with other dogs besides Darcy though.
On the subject of Butters, I guess it's important to note how she had a bit of history of abuse and if the "recent" (it was years ago) bit of therapy didn't go too well, she would've been put down. It was that bad.
But obviously it did go well, so yeah.

Don’t worry bro, Primal S2 is on the way
Might just be me, but I'm detecting a hint of bias for your sister from your parents. When you get shortchanged and don't even make a third of what you should've, they're hitting you with the 'what does it matter, its work experience!' line, while when your sister gets similarly shortchanged whilst working just a few days more, now all of a sudden it became a scam.Yep, but to be fair it was kinda shit.
I got fired cause I was trying to turn on my phone, not even looking at it at the end of the day waiting for the bus to come. 'Cause they're still kids there' despite how it was after hours.
Also, the pay is shit like we got our checks last week but I got $78 for my two days, which might seem like a lot till you realize I worked 8am-4pm 9 hours both days, and minimum wage is $15/hr. meaning I should've gotten around $270 (excluding any taxes pulled out of my paycheck)
My sister got it even worse, she's a junior counselor at 16 years old and has an even harder job than me cause I got to take care of the 8-10-year-old kids who at least listen when you tell them to use the bathroom.
My sister has to take care of 4-5-year-olds who when you ask them if they need to use the bathroom will say no and then proceed to piss or shit their pants.
And how much money did she get working for two weeks?
$183. Not joking she only got 183 dollars working for 2 weeks, 9 hours a day taking care of little kids.
And then my parents who were all like 'it doesn't matter if the pay is bad its work for experience!' are now like 'wtf there scamming you!' after seeing my sister's paycheck.
And I'm all 'I told you so'
On more of the topic of the camp though, fuck them for doing that. That's taking being shitty cheapskates to a whole new level.
Also, on the topic of Assassin's Creed, I wish they'd return to AC1-AC2 era, and give us another game set within the holy land(either properly following the story of Altair again, or another important disciple) but have the gameplay of the first two games refined to as close to perfection as possible.
And before anyone brings up Revelations, that game was ass in my view, and didn't give us nearly enough as it should've of Altair.

Lunch counts as your breakBreaks?
you don’t get paid during it which is prob why you got $78
also maybe your first day was training and I guess they didn’t count it
I was only halfway kidding
it's the only way id ever be interested in assassin's creed tbh
I wanted an Assasin’s Creed game set in Japan when there was ninjas. Ubisoft took too long and Ghost of Tsushima took that opportunity.
Yeah it’s technically a samurai your playing as but they abandoned their Bushido Code to defeat the invading Mongols through any means so you do very ninja like things.

@OtherGalaxy What are the best Transformers comics?
nah cuz movement in pre-4 was ass, especially with the camera tracking being whack
You either had to master Bunny hopping strats or make an AC with an overtuned as shit radiator/Generator so you could reliably fly/OB
case in point
Really? That's weird cause we're still taking care of the kids during lunch ya know, making sure they eat, they clean up, making sure they don't run off after there done. Also, I did get paid for my first day.
But even then I still feel like I'm getting shortchanged. Lemme do some math.
I worked 8 a.m-4 p.m which is 8 hours (I miscalculated and thought it was 9)
And so that's 480 minutes. Lunch is around 40 minutes so I'll just make it 45.
480-45=435 minutes of work.
435 minutes is 7.25 hours.
I'll just take out the .25 so 7 hours.
Minimum wage in NY is $15.00 an hour.
So 15*7=$105
And I got paid for 2 days so.
$105*2=$210
This is what I should've gotten, this is excluding taxes of course but I don't even know how much they take out in taxes cause the contract doesn't specify.
But in reality, I only got $78. Which is only 37% of $210.
Let's not forget about my sister who's currently on her third week of work and got paid $183 for the 2 weeks she already did.
So $105*10=$1050
So she only got 17% of what she's supposed to be getting.

Not gonna deny that the camera would be bad in those days but Nineball Sereph is considered one of the hardest bosses in the franchise's history so I don't think it feels fair to use that fight as an example. Wouldn't the ps2 games be different than the ones on ps1?
