F*CKING USELESS Today i sorted a house and got through my resits. Approximately 5minutes after confirming that i'd passed my uni course, whilst eating a celebratory caramel Freddo bar, i check the timetable... Monday 14:00 - 17:00 Design Techniques. Arse. Nick's job, Monday 15:00 - 22:00 You may notice a clash. I spend the whole summer sh*tting bricks over resits and where i'm going to live and i get five minutes of relief before i'm shat on by uni timetabling for the second term running. I made this to help describe things...  |

You work part time though...it's easy enough to rearrange your times surely? If not there are plenty of other part time jobs going. I wanted to nominate my work as Villains for not giving me any time off to do my masters so i have to work nine and a half hours a day excluding breaks to make the time up  |

I'll find out on monday what the situation will be, i am hoping to arrange something whereby i start work at say 4pm instead so i can attend just over half of the lecture and still get to work.
Your work are gits, maybe they'l ltake the hint when their team leader starts making tireedness induced errors or whatever.

Well to be honest, they have no obligation to give me time off for study. I'm contracted to do 37.5 hours' work per week, because that's what they need me to do. Yes, the subject I'm studying is relevant, but I've got to see it from their point of view: they've appointed me because they needed someone to do what I'm now doing. There's only one of me; everyone else is either working above me or below me, so there's nobody to pick up what I wouldn't be able to do if my hours were cut. If I start making tiredness induced errors, they're more likely to start disciplinary procedures or encourage me to take a holiday. They certainly won't start giving me regular time off.

If you've got good time management skills (which I believe Sal has! ) then it's possible to cope with a hectic schedule. It's a question of dividing time appropriately between the tasks that need to be done, being disciplined about sticking to that, but also building in a certain amount of flexibility. And, most importantly, not forgetting to allow yourself enough quality time to wind down!  |

I'm led to believe that for some time now undergrads do not need to learn to spell correctly, maybe they could spend some of the copious amount of their spare time considering availing themselves of the etymology of their mother tongue  ;D |

As a purveyor of la lingua franca my dear young sir, if a linesman/woman/assistant referee took the attitude of "Oh well it's only tinpot, I can't be arsed to raise the flag" one might be a tad peeved, n'est-ce pas? |
