	Dook's Just Can't Handle Nine to Five Put an end to popups!

The hours are alright, it's just a ***** having to get a bus at 7:40 in the morning, meaning setting my alarm for 6:35.

I'm doing some sensitive data capturing about credit cards and what-not, so can't disclose too much more. £5.35 an hour though, so 35 hours a week will see the money rolling in... Especially since studnets don't get taxed in the summer. What a result.

Hehe, I work whenever I bother getting up in the morning to about roughly 8 hours later give or take a few.

	Tired of ads?

That'd be good. The problem is, I could get a bus that got to town at 8:46, but you just know it would be delayed by traffic.

So it's a case of get the bus at 7:40 and get to town at 8:05, or get it at 8:10 and get there after 9.

At least a couple of cafes are open for a cuppa tea.

Yeah, I have somewhat flexible hours. I usually can't be bothered to show up before 10am, and even then I'd be like the only person there from the group I'm working with.

Sounds like the sort of group I'm working with. Well, it's only two weeks of 9-5. Then I revert to 12-6pm. That's just slightly better..

Yeah, 12 to 6 is good That's closer to what my college classes are like next semester. I'm hoping my "nothing before noon" policy will result in better grades.

About 6 miles. I've cycled there a few times and it would be no problem, apart from the sweat.

All depends on cycle paths , try looking for a path that covers most of the route, if so there is no need to sweat, 6 miles can be gently cyled in under 30 minutes

Yeah, but you're in Hull so it probably takes you around 3 hours to get home.

That 15 minutes before 5 is very handy...it means I can beat most of the traffic...and I am out early enough to miss the worst of it too, so it doesn't take me too long...

You will get taxed if you earn enough. Just don't work for more than a few months a year as a student and you'll be okay. I'm paying tax at the mo, but getting it all back (Around £400) next Easter will be handy for me.

I worked 12am-8am 6 days a week (more than fulltime) in a hot-as-hell bakery a couple years ago.

Of course, now I work 8-4 in a nice, big airconditioned office with big windows, but that's beside the point.

5.35 isnt bad for a student, as many jobs 'targeted' at students are on the minimum wage of 4.20 so 5.35 is ok. Consider a full time week time week at that rate would earn Bodds £200, over the summer it's probably about £2500, about half of the annual living costs for a student.

Of course, I woudnt get out of bed for less than £6 p/h myself.
