Mark W Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Got 2 jobs, gonna ditch one in favour of another, so I end up doing 4 9-5's, then my 9:30-5:30 bikeshop shift. I work as a shelf-stacker 10 hours a week at the moment too, so I'm only on 18 hours a week. Wanna boost that up to like 37-ish or so. Anyhoo, having trouble finding stuff, plus it started raining just as I was about to go for a ride 2 hours ago, and hasn't stopped since. Bored, bored, bored.

There you go Dave, be a postman! Theres quite a shortage of posties too, and you might get quite decent pay... I know a really rich guy who one ditched being a Managing Director of a large firm and became a posty and hes loving it :huh: As for Connexxions, the staff are all as clever as tadpoles, look on the walls and on the system yourself and contact the companies yourself, have as little to do with the staff as you possibly can :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Yeah, I was looking for a postie job too. Found quite a few near Soton, where I was hoping to move. But that's all changed now anyway, the moving part :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Being a Postie is hardly a career though :huh: No shit? However, it does bring in money, which allows you to afford to: pay bills pay rent buy food/drink buy bike stuff Which is pretty much what I want. It's just for a year anyway 'til I decide if I actually want to go to uni at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairy elephants Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Tony Blair pays me, £30 a week. I'm not complaining :) Are you sure it isnt us (being tax payers) that is paying you £30 a week... I doubt Tony Blair would want to help people out like that...
