Short of $60

  $540 is the approximate pay I'm about to get from my attachment. And that's what I'm going to get per month.
  
  It's short of $60 from what I estimated. But close enough.
  
  On closer analysis, I'll be working there for 8 weeks. And 8 weeks ain't 2 months which means I'll be getting less than $1000.
  
  Good heavens.
  
  Deducting my daily expediture, that should leave me about $400 after the attachment as savings.
  
  Argh!
  
  Well, at least it helps to pass time.

  ahh.. when i was in uni, i wished we had time for attachment.. but we didn't..
  
  then the economy was so bad, they didn't even want any interns even when we offered to be there for 2 months for free...
  
  enjoy yourself man

  they had to retrench.. morale low.. if they took in interns, the morale would be hammered even more...
  
  the ways of organisations abroad are very different from what we have here...
  
  here, if free, the organisations would be wall-to-wall with interns, damn the current staff
