I guess when you work you don't have a lot of time for holidays ;_;
I actually could take holidays and weekends off just like every other person, and at least in the book I'm not working on those days, but it's not like the teens I'm trying to help just go "Oh, it's a holiday today. Guess I'll stop feeling like crap for today and continue tomorrow." Some people might say I'm overdoing it, but I care for those kids and I want them to know I'm being sincere. /shrugs/ I guess that makes me a bit of a workaholic. xD
They were kind of rude and didn't seem to want to help me at all... -.- not that the Greek woman I called was much nicer.
Germany is almost the same. =_= Some people are just so stuck up. When somebody actually tries to speak German, but they have a heavy accent, the Germans usually will try to help you, but not without sounding condescending or making fun of you. Luckily there are exceptions, but I noticed a lot of people are just being assholes around people, who don't speak the same language.
