Mer Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 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?
