Previously I had mentioned to some of you that my SO was applying to grad school in the US, both to further his education and to be closer to me. We have still not heard back from his last two grad schools, so we are assuming they are rejects and not acceptances. This means we will not be closing the distance this year.
We are in the process of planning our next visit in August. My work contract should end on July 31st, leaving me with no work obligations and a substantial amount of savings on which to support myself. My SO is taking his vacation days from ~July 25th (give or take a few days) to August 15th. This means that I'd get about 2 weeks of his vacation time before he has to go back to work. Work for him means leaving at ~7:15 am and returning at about 5:30 pm, sometimes later depending on what's going on at work and how the traffic is.
I would really like to stay for 3+ weeks (he wants 2 months), but this also means that he will be working for a good portion of the days I'm there. This wouldn't really be an issue if I weren't going to be just sitting around doing nothing while he's at work. I'd like to be doing something productive with my time. What have you guys done if you've visited your SO while they were working? Ideally, I'd like to be able to have some sort of income, but I understand that that isn't always possible.
