Alas, I am a student, and thus not only do I not get paid extra for working holidays, I don't get paid at all. All I got was the rather dubious satisfaction of being able to say smugly to my colleages, "Enjoy your long weekend? Personally, I got tons done" on Tuesday morning.

For those who are interested, the seminar didn't go too well, only four people turned up. I suppose I learned my lesson about agreeing to work on a bank holiday.
