Been so caught up at work that I only realised results are next week today when a teacher came into work...
Like what..... I only sat maths paper 1 there three weeks ago 🤨

Genuinely tired. Sick, and tired. Physically and mentally. My knees, my back, everything. Who knew being a barista would make me feel so sh**. I love most of my coworkers, theyre good for a chat and all that, though they are older, some double my age. Its management that sucks, specifically the Regional, Training and HR managers.
I feel like an experiment. Training Manager; does no training or help, get told to do the online training and then get in trouble when somethings done wrong, and instead of training to help fix mistakes, theyre only pointed at and given out at.
Regional Manager has us under constant surveillance. God forbid I work 5 Clopen shifts in a row and im tired, shes right onto me for being slower than usual.
And HR omg god forbid I clock out 5 mins late or early. and dont get me started on the one time my app stopped working so I clocked out 30 mins late.
I feel like a little puppet. Undervalued, underpaid and underappreciated.
cant bloody wait to hand in this notice ive typed. No wonder the staff turnover is so high.

Wsg brothers and sisters. Just saving my payslips and stuff and for the first half of this year.
When it comes to SUSI earnings (the 8300) that arent counted outside of term time, for this year, will the Leaving Cert Period count as term time cuz I worked and earned quite a bit during that period after graduation. I know I wont have to worry about this till renewing next year but just wondering

lots of love ahead of the results my siblings,

As the title says.

So I’ve a dilemma.

I can either do a Traineeship in Aircraft Maintenance starting in October, or go to uni in September to do Electrical Engineering.

I love planes and manual work, but the hours can be rough in places, and while career progression is possible, it can be difficult.

Electrical Engineering I know less about, but out of hundreds of courses I’ve looked at, it seems the most fun and interesting. Work-life balance seems better (AFAIK), and career progression is slightly better.

Traineeship:

• Move out of home into an apartment/room
• No SUSI
• Pay is €100 a week for the first 3 months (then goes up to ~€300, and ~€450 by month 11)
• 2 years long, and I come out with a Cat A licence
• I’d be doing something I know I love

Uni:

• Accommodation already guaranteed
• SUSI coverage that just about covers accommodation
• Obviously the uni experience is better than an ETB
• Engineering keeps more doors open

Everyone says “find a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life”, but in this day and age, work-life balance and salary basically mean everything.

Someone I know suggested doing both, but I don’t want to waste 2/4 years doing something just to not end up using it.

Engineering keeps doors open, while the traineeship is a commitment to one career for life unless I go back into education.

Its still 2 months away and I cant sleep thinking about it
I know I did so poorly like worse then the mocks and its embarassing. I tried my hardest and some papers I didnt answer a single full question as opposed to the mocks that went flawlessly. And my parents have such high expectations of me because of my older sister who did hers 2 years back and got just under 570. I dont even want to open them results anymore despite working so hard and long for them because I know itll just end in tears and embarassment, and my friends are like 625 medicine merchants so that doesnt help either. Like im going through so many emotions right now, im angry, dissapointed, embarassed, sad and physically sick. Like I wasnt this sick last time i drank and mixed everything the pub had to offer.

I got non priority (a score of 3.5) becaue they said my parents welfare payment isnt means tested.
I sent a form about Working Family Payment which is means tested no?

You mean the diagnosed disability that doesnt fall under ANY other category,
has caused me great suffering over the last few years, caused me to lose days of school, forced me to type my exams, stopped me from participating in normal activities ISNT A BLOODY SIGNIFICANT ONGOING ISSUE?!!? they literally accepted the impact statement so like bruh

Dont do it, its not worth it. dont add chemistry to the evil mix either.

below is a poem

The window is open,
my calc is overheating,
A H1 im hoping!
The H7 is speaking.

The pub calls my name,
It shouts "come here",
7 hours left, the end is near!
Must wait two days to drink, what a shame!

It is 2 after midnight,
the breeze cool and gentle,
time to turn off the light.
I am going mental.

Hi all!
I uploaded a marking scheme for chemistry today and have seen demand and many have been appreciative of it.

Leave a comment or message request if interested and I can send it to you tomorrow as soon as I have it done.

Anyone doing this course able to give me a rough jist of what the timetable is like, level 7 or 8.
