Jill 0 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Decent mood, I've had a canny week at work training on some new areas of work and it's the first Friday in absolutely ages I've just chilled out with a glass of wine and tunes/films. Usually I do my housework on a Friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4949 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 - too many university assignments!! Â Have finally finished all of mine forever, so I can look at posts like this with an element of schadenfreude. Â Â ...Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3180 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Mixed I have been offered a new job with a 2 grand pay rise so happy about that. Pissed off that the place I joined just in January is so shit I had to find a new job straight away. Trying to tell people why you want to leave a place after 2 months without slagging them off is difficult.

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3180 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Another 1500 words to do before Wednesday. Certainly feasible! What on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17580 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 1500 words doesn't sound like much like. My PhD thesis was about 70,000 iirc. On a good week at work now I'd expect to churn out a minimum of 10,000 words in reports, at least double that in correspondence.... Â Lazy students.....

Renton 17580 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 The pharmacokinetics and mechanism of action of ifosfamide, which is an anticancer drug used to treat children with solid tumours. I've never used a single bit of knowledge gained from it since or read the thesis again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26592 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I had to write about the Weimar Republic in my GCSE exams. Put that in your fucking pipe and smoke it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 26592 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 1990. Would have much preferred O levels as I did fuck all course work which IIRC was 60% of my marks. I'd have pissed it if it was made up 100% of your actual exams. I honestly could have a severe word to that 16 year old kid if I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Couldn't you plead mental distress to the exam board due to the mental devastation inflicted on the entire city by getting knocked out the play offs by the tramps right in the middle of the exams?

Renton 17580 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I thought you and Paddock lad were a bit older for some reason. Did mine in 86, the second last year before they changed. Minimal course work thank fuck, mind I was a swat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 70 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Didn't they bring Gcse's in cause people were actually failing 'O' levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17580 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Didn't they bring Gcse's in cause people were actually failing 'O' levels. Basically. If you look at O level papers from the 1970s they were harder than A levels now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Basically. If you look at O level papers from the 1970s they were harder than A levels now. I can believe that.

Honestly, the exams were a piece of piss, but I lived in Walker, played football all the time, went to away games from 14 years old and knew nobody whatsoever who had been to university. Stay in and do homework? Why the fuck would you do that when we had a game at Wallsend Boys Club? I knew I wasn't an idiot and would easy get a job. What I didn't twig was that I'd be stuck doing shiftwork for the next twenty odd years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I didn't twig was that I'd be stuck doing shiftwork for the next twenty odd years. The only 'O' levels I had to do some work for were Maths and Physics (the one's where you couldn't just make up stuff). I honestly made up so much nonsense about books I hadn't read they probably thought I'd read widely. Sociology was the one where I hadn't read anything at all and launched into a massive case study about council estates and alienation without any clue about either...'A'. (All from a quick skim read of Cotgrove and Parsons on the morning of the exam). Edited March 16, 2014 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
