I get paid 700 a month after tax. I do about 35/6 hours on average a week.
Its bollocks.
I'll get a proper career one day.

Probably not.
But there again I doubt if its the sort of job responsibilty that warrants any form of drug testing either.

I managed 18 months at Halfords. I've no idea how I managed, the lads I worked with (and am still good mates with) are probably what made it worth while.
Spent at least 30-45 mins every shift outside on my own car - so you can get away with murder at times
So glad it was part-time student job now looking back

That sounds horrendous. Still as long as you enjoy it. I can't imagine any of our managers being CS members lol. One guy I used to be friends with did the options scheme and has turned fresh manager recently and hes is such an annoying arse, treats me like im about 2. Luckily im leaving in a month to pursue my education at uni woo.

i dint really mind nights tbh and working a a manager is all about motivating people and being able to eal with the shit that gets flung at you. cant think of that many jobs were you could be looking at £35k a year without qualifcations.
Though I do have a HND in computing I feel it has been as much use to me as an ashtray on a motorbike

I got pissed off with some girl and said, look its a fucking goldfish I know how to look after one I dont need a bloody lecture silly cow well annoyed me. I only wanted a replacement for my one that died. My golfish are now very big, swimming round in my mothers pond haha
