Matt Posted 29 August 2005 Posted 29 August 2005 Back to work tomorrow but I get paid on Thursday and its been a 5 week month so will seem like a pretty good wage this month Bank Holidays are good but seem to go so fast, and then you go back to work on the Tuesday and the week seems longer than a normal week (To me it does anyway) Oh well roll on Christmas (next bank holiday)
Matt Posted 29 August 2005 Author Posted 29 August 2005 I start work at Peugot tomorrow :thumbsup: Peugeot? You? Student? Work?
Muz Posted 29 August 2005 Posted 29 August 2005 Peugeot? You? Student? Work? Ive finished school JUST! Straight into work for me
Matt Posted 29 August 2005 Author Posted 29 August 2005 Ive finished school JUST! Straight into work for me :thumbsup: Good lad! And doing a trade (Doing any course/apprenticeship?) I know I keep banging on about this and I may be offending people (Dunno ) fair enough if all these people want to go to uni, and get into debt its there decision but I know so many people that go to uni learn there stuff then don't use it - Please tell me what is the point? And alot of people that go to uni are learning stuff like Physcology, teaching, law, we do need them i'm not denying it but in a few years your gonna struggle to get jobs because there will be an overflow in those jobs because too many people are learning the subjects, we NEED tradespeople and we are not getting enough people into apprenticeship. Finally apprenticeship are on the up but theres still not enough people leaving school getting involved in trades, and in a few years tradespeople will be rolling in money and we will be charging whatever we want. Australia are calling out for tradesmen because over their there is also a shortage what is britain doing? Nowt!
cisono Posted 29 August 2005 Posted 29 August 2005 Almost didn't notice it was a bank holiday today!!!! I guess it will feel like a short week at least

Hitesh Posted 29 August 2005 Posted 29 August 2005 It was a bank holiday today! Everyday is a bank holiday for me! I have been home for months and still have another month before uni! So today was just another normal day! And i do lose track of what day it is! But as you said it was a bank holiday, it means i got paid double bubble today! WAHOO!!
Stuliasz Posted 29 August 2005 Posted 29 August 2005 This bank holiday weekend has gone horribly fast, it really has. I can't believe its back to work again tomorrow. And about the university point made earlier, people go to uni to learn something that they will enjoy learning about whether they want to go into a job with it or not and to enjoy the uni experience which is a hell of a lot more about just learning academically, its the best preparation you can possibly have for moving out and kickstarting your own life.
Katy Posted 30 August 2005 Posted 30 August 2005 My Bank Holiday weekend was pretty eventful for a change actually. Leicester v Luton on Saturday (less said about that the better) Watched Cobbo and the Fosse boys train on sunday, down the pub to watch the cricket and the footeh and got totally wrecked. THEN went off with Cobbo, Scoweh and Teeno on the train to Hull and had a great laugh there. Lost three pounds in weight due to not eating and totally knackered through lack of sleep but the past three days have rocked!

I personally could have waited for my 5th weeks pay next month, becuase I live at home and all I have to pay is my car, but its the principle the other people have over drafts, cards, e.t.c to pay though.
rossporterlc Posted 30 August 2005 Posted 30 August 2005 Tell me about it! This morning/afternoon, whenever i got up, i had to make my own breakfast!!! me too! the service just isn't as good these days
