You can call it 24 hour time if you want. But the slang is military time.

1800 IS MILITARY time, FYI

bahhh. whatever. it's true tho, no one uses that. my parents get annoyed if i answer them with an answer like 17:02 cuz they have to subtract 12.

And here in Europe we use it all the time Mostly in writing though - when asked what time it is, people don't normally say 17:30 - they say half past five. But in writing we mostly use 24 hour clock

This does remind me, I am going to start a spot of job shopping in the near future. I am going to have to update my curriculum vitae and then off I go

i'm going job shopping next week. my options are fewer than yours tho.

[Provost Harrison]

What kind of jobs are you looking for?

My stuff is a bit more hardcore - this is big career move stuff, but the results should be quite 'lucrative' shall we say?

Which reminds me, I need to speak to Zop about something

[b etor]

oh. i was thinking along the lines of cashier at Wegman's or working at Panera's.

my friend and i are trying to see where to get a working permit from. like i babysit and make a lot of money doing that, but i want an actual job.

The FBI isn't paying enough?

[Provost Harrison]

I'm looking for something a little more 'professional' myself

[-Jrabbit]

Working permit? WTF...
I never needed any such thing.

something about child labor laws and us keeping our grades up i think

"No person under the age of eighteen shall be employed without a general or vacation employment certificate. The employment certificates are issued by school authorities and must be kept on file. A transferable work permit may be issued at sixteen. A minor issuing a transferable work permit is not required to obtain a new permit or certificate each time they change employers. Work permits can be obtained through your local school district. The Abstract of the Child Labor Law must be posted by every business in Pennsylvania that employs minors."

I worked at a cannery when I was 16. Only for a month though... it was a nightmare that I successfully blocked from memory.

Have you hit sixteen yet ? IT seems the transferable permit is the one to get.

WE never had anything like those things and lots of people went working at pretty young ages. Probably not a terrible thing if they don't make it too administratively cumbersome
