Bert Raccoon Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Didn't really deserve a thread of its own, where would i go for decent advice on the kind of work i should be applying for ? really want to get out of call centre work I spoke to a careers advisor when I was unemployed, I think it was Skills Scotland or something similar. They gave me options and pointed me in the right direction with what qualifications I would need etc.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Kevin Of Kilsyth Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 What is the exact salary cut off for having to repay a student loan? I am getting differing info on this. And also, if you are just be low it and you work overtime in certain months that will push you over the cut off, would you have to make repayments in these months but not the months that you had no overtime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really help with your first question but with regards to overtime, with it being outwith your contracted hours, I can't see you having to pay it back in those months. Apologies for not being much help 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Has anyone seen a can crusher in any shops in Fife or Dundee? I know they are available online, but I prefer to see it before I buy as I got one online ages ago an it broke due to being so flimsy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karpaty Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Anyone else work nightshift? What's your routine? I've just started nights from Sunday and I feel i have literally no time in the day to myself at all. Travel/work 8pm-8am, come in so knackered I end up sleeping 8am-5pm which leaves me 3 hours to myself in late afternoon. I'm going to the football tomorrow so god knows if I can manage a 3 hour kip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I treated it like you would a normal working day, except obviously the times are different. Get up a 7pm have breakfast and a shower etc and leave for work at 9:30-10pm, once you are home I had dinner etc and I went to my bed between 12 and 2pm. That worked fine for me but it does take a few weeks to get into a different routine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd stay up, get a meal and watch the telly until bedtime. Just turn your day on its head. In addition to that, be ever grateful that it's winter you're doing it in and not summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sleep about the same on nights as I would on days. Work shifts of 6-6 If I'm days, I'm up at half 5, quick breakfast then start work. Go to bed about 10.30pm. So all my 'own time' is after shift If I'm nights, I'll usually get up about 3pm before shift and go to bed about 9am after. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not something that comes naturally as you can probably tell For what its worth I just went into YouTube and watched a random video, and despite running awfully and loading quite slowly I was able to get it into HD, although I wasn't signed in to a profile or anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
