No way I'd rather be cleaning! Lets swap Beate!

My shift just started 40 minutes ago so it's a long way to go....

My thinking is, I get pa*d for working but not for cleaning!

Money never motivates me unfortunately. :(

It's not that it motivates me, either; I'm just trying to console myself for having to be at work - at least it's helping to keep a roof over my head and as for the cleaning, it won't go away in any case!

It should still be warm and light when you finish, shouldn't it? And can you promise yourself a treat afterwards? If I can make myself trudge up the North Downs Wayafter work, I'll certainly feel I've earned a large Movenpick cornet.

No I got an application form I need to fill in. So I can't be enjoying myself.

I was up until 2:30am last night doing it but then when it came to submitting it, I got some null value and error so I need to figure which of the fields is not accepting the value and then change it. :angry:

Crumbs, I got up before you went to bed - talk about a 24-hour society. Websites can be so frustrating, but I do hope all your hard work pays off eventually, a_person.

ok application form help please someone.

I have to declare my current salary on the form.

The form only takes numbers. My salary is pro rata to someone of a full timer so HR said I must declare it as £000,000 pro rata.

So lets assume my salary is £20,000 for a full time. As I am pro rata, I get, lets say £10,000.

As I can't write £20,000 pro rata, what do I write? £10,000? As £20,000 would certainly not be an accurate description.

Secondly there is additonal p*y I get but this is not part of my salary as of such but a benefit. Do I declare that as salary or not (There is no option for extra benefits).

I would just write £10,000. They did ask what you get pa*d. That's what you get pa*d. They didn't ask for additional benefits so no need to mention bonuses.
