It's been 9-5 / 5 days a week for me. It's a fun job, well paid, credited for school and will look amazing on my CV. Not to complain but I can't really imagine living like this for the rest of my working life. 2 days of weekend is just not enough. Am I just spoiled? Maybe I just don't have serious responsibilities like kids to appreciate the value of a good stable job.

Anyway, the job solidified the fact that I'll do my best to start my own thing before getting into the corporate career thing. I have the luxury of a massive security net so why not use it, right?

Other than that, I've been working my ass of renovating an apartment to rent out on airbnb for the summer season in montreal. My goal is to make enough money to move out there in the fall and pay rent/utilities. I've never used the service before so i have a lot of learning to the general etiquette and proper pricing :) I got a BUNCH of requests really fast because my price was initially too low. And not people are asking for bookings in august and I'm hesitant to accept until i get a good feeling for the value of the market. Anyone ever used airBNB/ any tips on keeping the renters happy?
