I do my 8am-8pm Thursday and then that's it until 2nd January. 2nd January! I'll still be coming down, like on the Weekender video.

I know! 2nd of Jan is a bullshit day to be going back to work. I'm off from friday, can't wait. Looking forward to the time off way mroe than christmas itself. And then an epic new year party to cap off a decent year.
Scotland doesn't go back to work until the 3rd
We celebrate the new year so hard that our government decided to chuck over an extra day holiday to recover.

bitch I'm taking calls.
I've done online classes but I have no idea what an access to uni course is. Also I can't help but notice you're on A levels, how old are you Salva if you don't mind me asking?
I'm 21. I dropped out of school due to spending too much time in work, biggest mistake I've made so I think. Really depressing being 21 with no prospects in the future so I need to change that asap. It's been a long while since I've studied which makes it pretty daunting.
What are your interests? You could look at a foundation year.
One of the problems is that I've been so uncertain about what I could and should do that I've ended up making no choice at all. Teaching is an interest that has been appealing lately so I may have a look at that.

I did an Access to Teaching course from '09-'11 and found it really prepared me for uni much better than A levels as I got to practice using the referencing systems I've been using during my degree. I'd say they're just as valuable as A levels and universities are definitely recognising them more.
That sounds fantastic. I've also read that they are free in comparison to A levels which is a big plus for me. I'm going to save up quite a bit of money by September so I don't have to work, or at least work to the extent I would probably have to, just to sustain myself.

I'm not sure on the cost now, but mine was only £150 at the time! Doing A levels would've cost me about £1800 IIRC.
I've always had 3 weeks at christmas, 4 weeks at easter.
Seems to work pretty well, I just want to get past Xmas and New Year's and get back up to Uni.
Nah man then I'm straight into exams. Hopefully I won't be doing any job hunting next semester though as that took a lot of time, was supposed to find out today but got no call :/

I remember watching it in high school for Modern Studies.
Poor cat.
Even though the class was 1998-2000, we still went over the Cold War and Gulf War in a bit of detail. The humorous part being when NATO started bombing Serbia and led to a bunch of girls in the class thinking we were going to get nuked.

You're not hopeless or alone by any means. I'm trying myself to get back on the education horse after a break working full time. Dropped out in the middle of my general uni courses about a year ago (22 now).
Silver lining is if I at least finish my undergrad there is a position I can go for at a reputable company so that's my goal at the moment. Gonna restart with three courses next semester and see how it goes.

Seen it a few times (yep, been back for more!) and it's the most depressing of it's ilk by far, I watched the US version (The Day After) and although miserable, it didn't have the same resonation as Threads, mainly as I couldn't relate to Kansas like I could the 80's "North".
I mean, this was Sheffield in the 80's, it was depressing enough before the nukes...
Did you comfort them? Perhaps convince them they needed to procreate to ensure mankinds survival?
Being 21 is hardly setting your future in stone. Our resident sheep just completely changed his future and opened a bead shop, and he's much farther along the chain of life than you. There is no "life is over" age other than that which you make.
Go forth, my son, and be the Salvadora you wish to be.
I don't think I know a single person who had it together by 21.

I just turned 28 and to be honest my life is still bits & pieces right now. My degree has only been useful for visa purposes so far.

I'm 37 and my life is still all over the place. It never ends.

I'd be more depressed if I was still stuck in an unhappy marriage, at least I've got my freedom back! I'll take the whiskey if it leads to bellowing Bavarian drinking songs and dancing on tables!

I got a free sample of Glenmorangie at the weekend when at Costco. I've missed that "soft burn" feeling of proper whisky. I'll pick up a bottle soon.

Augh, no! ... It's set in the 80's!
Threads just couldn't be more bleak. Honestly ruined my night when I watched it.

Wos appertainin' Gaf?
So I had a lovely birthday weekend, rounded off by making more Xmas tree cupcakes for work, which are going down a treat. Also very surprised to get a gift from everyone, a Galactic Empire bath robe! Nice to know everyone is aware of what I like
So, busy week for me in work. Was off yesterday, work xmas lunch tomorrow so that'll be a half day, then a half day on Friday. Doesn't leave a lot of time to get stuff done.
Luckily I managed to get Xmas eve off, but I'm back in on 27th. So driving to Cornwall Saturday, driving to Wales (via phisheep's) on Sunday, then driving back to London Wednesday. Fun times.

Hope there are some xmas tree cupcakes in the post for all your good friends in BritGAF.
What is it you actually do? I've never known...
Our xmas party is on Friday at Ascot watching the horse racing and boozing up on free drink all day. Should be interesting

If there was a way I could send cupcakes in the post without them getting squished then I would.
I'm a client accountant for a commercial property management company. It's a tad boring sometimes but I don't hate it and it pays well, can't really ask for more than that.
Try not to squander all your money on poor bets!
It's a shame you can't really bubblewrap cupcakes.
Yeah, I won't be betting more than 10 to 20 quid.
Of course, I say that now. I'm going to have to leave my wallet at home or I'll get drunk and decide OF COURSE I should make an exception for Sally LameNag - she's an outside bet who is OBVIOUSLY going to win it.
Congratulations!

At Deloitte in the Leeds Data team. Start next September.
Having second thoughts now might just apply here. I wonder what goes on in the toilets though.
