  1. Sticky Thread Sticky: Presenting Lifetracks.com

  1. What exactly is the work programme meant to do?

    I am on this and was referred to Remploy. All I've done is job searching - something I am capable of doing myself. They've tried (and failed, thankfully) to get me to apply for an unsuitable job. They also want me to do a work placement - I did that last year and am still there on a part-time basis. When I asked why, they said it's because I need the experience (I do?) and because they want...

  2. Update: is this job still a good fit?

    I don't have conduct issues, just performance and it's really killing me bc I'm disorganized. k so like I give out samples at Sam's Club and it's really more demanding than it looks, which is why they pay $10 an hour. Anyway, either I couldn't get things done fast enough or I forget to do it all together. Sometimes, I even forget the supplies I need to complete tasks. It's really getting on ppl's...

  3. Moving Overseas to Work

    It seems that our economy is fucked... That and I need a change. I have always wanted to work in different countries, cultures and so on and yeah... I've considered TEFL. I was wondering if anybody else has done work abroad, or can make any suggestions or ideas? My flatmate, an aussie, said that Australia is great at the moment and I'd be able to get a bar or admin job easy. Obviously...

  6. Office jobs

    I need a new 'exciting' job. I work in a chocolate factory at minimum wage (I'm 28). For what we do we should be on more!!! Are there any office jobs which require you not to use a telephone? I'm asking because they don't agree with me. And when I did some work experience at Bradford & Bingley Building Society in Crossflats, Keighley, for college quite a few years ago. Someone shouted at me...

  7. 'something will come up'??

    This is what everyone keeps telling me but the anxiety has crept in because we can afford this month's rent and just make the bills but no idea what we can do next month. I've been belatedly rejected by Asda after ringing today and asking what the outcome of my interview/work trial is. They hadn't thought to let me know I'd been unsuccessful despite being met with great feedback during the...

  10. My coworkers seems leery of me

    Don't get me wrong. They're nice to me to my face, but I try too hard to fit in and it kinda rubs them the wrong way. I prolly come across as too intrusive when I join their conversations in the break room, as to seem like butting in. At least that's what they complained to our supervisor about. They been here awhile and has formed a tight knit clique, which I hadn't realized. Plus, as the 2nd...

So a few days ago, I asked my boss what happens after 90 days. Basically, what she said is that 90 days is just a number (she didn't say it word for word, btw.) People could be canned b4 their 90 days is up if they fvck...

  14. New job wobbles

    I took a new job about 6 weeks ago in a new field to what I normally (from operations to sales) and its going REALLY well. So well infact I'm starting to freak out. Because I'm not sure if its what I want. I don't like the whole targets and bonuses ting - I'm not particularly money driven, I work more on the basis of feeling good about what I have done. Part of the anxiety comes from my mental...

  16. Question How do I become a male prostitute in London?

    Does anyone know how I'd go about becoming a male prostitute in London for men and women? Thou I appreciate 99.9%+ of clients will be male. I don't think I can become a male escort since I don't think I'm in that league? I'm a 19 year old caucasian male, blond hair, blue eyes, 5'4" tall, very slim and still a vergin. Thanks.

  18. Exclamation Social workers

    I have a disliking to social workers in general, they stick together because if they didnt there would not be enough brain cells for all of them. They are sexist, racist and stupid. For the most part they are single mothers who need a job with a salary, or old women who have never had kids, the men who go into social work are only there to shag the single mothers they come into contact with.

    (I don't know what forum this should be in, mods move it if you want) I asked on here about not applying to university, and everyone on here, my teachers and my parents basically told me that even if I didn't want to go, I should make a good application anyway, as a backup plan or whatever. I ignored everyone (don't know whether this was a good decision, but it's too late now) and decided not...

  24. Sick Notes

    I should know this by now, but I always ask my parents this question. I received a sick note that was dated on a Monday two weeks ago. Now my question is Do I go back tomorrow or Tuesday? If got the note dated on the Monday, surely it must end at 5pm on Monday evening, and I should be going back to work on the following day.
