slave labor

here's a little math for ya...

my last site started on 12/29/09
since then, i have had 1 day off
in the next 59 days i'm scheduled to have 2 more days off
thats a running total of 3 days off in a 75 day period
so i work 96% of the time (as a comparison, a 5 day work week corresponds to working 71% of the time)
of those days, i work an average of 11 hours per day
so thats a total of 792 hours in 75 days (or 10.7 weeks)
so in 10.7 weeks i work the amount of hours most people do in 19.8 weeks
... and get paid so little for it.

if you take my income per week and divide it by the average number of hours i work in a week, i earn $7.80 for each hour i work.
sounds like slave labor to me.
