June 28, 201015 yr comment_94094 So Steve received some very interesting news today!Hopefully they can find a cure
June 29, 201015 yr comment_94108 Thanks guys! It's tomorrow so I'll see how it goes. If I get through that my orientation is on Friday, exciting! Oooh, and I only just noticed your second post, Michaela! That job sounds so perfect for you well done!!
July 3, 201015 yr comment_94182 I'm enjoying my job so much! :(Even though it's cleaning out the cat chalets, just being around cats makes it much nicer (even the grumpy ones!) and knowing that I'm making a difference, making everything clean and comfortable for them, is great. And even though the cleaning routine itself is the same, it's different with each one. Some only have one cat, some have 2-3, some don't make too much mess, others are very messy and even manage to spill cat biscuits all over the floor And even in their beds...even though the food is on the floor and their beds are higher up...cats never fail to amuse me

Sometimes I get to walk the dogs which is so fun until they poop/wee everywhere and I'm like :/ oh no. Poop bags please. The cats manage to kick all their urine soaked cat litter onto the floor so when it comes to sweeping/mopping up I'm like great, I'm loving these pee smelling presents guys
July 4, 201015 yr comment_94260 You guys are so lucky to have jobs. I took the 'wait til after exams' approach which has now proven the worst idea. The McDonalds application was going really well until the store manager told me that the shifts she needs covered I can't legally work because they're too late for under 18s. She was trying to get older staff to switch so she could employ under 18s but no word on that as of yet.Pretty much every store I can think of have no vacancies. Outstanding applications: McDonalds, Hobbs (which was surprisingly on the student jobs website), Pizza Hut (at two restaurants) and Primark. Hurr. That's out of way more than 50 different places. Oh dear. The Primark online application was a joke though, haha. They had a section of 15 multiple choice questions that basically helped them identify whether or not your IQ is above 10.Anyone have any suggestions other than street entertainment or prostitution?

July 5, 201015 yr comment_94316 McDonalds hire under 16's? I started at McDonalds a week after my last exam when I was 15, by the time I was 16 I had worked my way up to floor manager by working so incredibly hard.Age means nothing, ability means everything.
