h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm going for a test on Friday for a job in the police which will probably be most interesting and full-time, and pay around £16,000 (I'm currently on 10.5). On the other hand, work are sending me to do word processing qualifications so that the essential requirements for my job description are met (extremely long story, not very interesting), but I'm quite bored and frustrated, and don't really want to stay here if I can go somewhere else. Also, a better salary gives us an option to buy our own house, or have Micahel studying, or both. But that qualification would be useful for any job in the Admin and Clerical world.

So what do I do?

Interesting beats useful every time! go for the teat and then decide

thanks for this, chorly1 how are you?

I'd say the interesting, police job too.... If its what sounds and looks more interesting, doing it won't be nearly so much effort (even if it is), than doing the other job would seem* plus if its more money... all the better

go for the money

Money it is then!
Wish me luck on my test tomorrow. That's all I need, as I have the skills.

What are you up to?

just ripping a few CD's before I head off to w**k

Well how did it go? Even if its just an excuse to use this it had to be worth it!

Don't look in too much anymore. Still working nights and we have a house full of kittens (well 4 ginger ones ahhh) so i seem to spend all my time cleaning litter trays and unhooking them from the curtains. they go next Friday though

Off to bed

I don't know how it went. I was a bit nervous (my left hand just shook the whole time) and felt awful when I left. Then slowly calmed down. The copy-typing went well, I think, but I was quite slow on the Alphanumeric test... Though it all depends on what the other candidates were like, I suppose.
