Who else is dreading getting up for work in the morning?
After 17 days off work over Xmas with lots of late nights and drinking I really can't be bothered getting up at 7 tomorrow to go to work!

Looking forward to it tbh. Love my job.
I find if I have too much time off I get into a routine of doing fuck all, and become a lazy badger.

I like my job but I'd still rather not be at work if I didn't have to be And certainly not be getting up so early!

Yeah...me too. Last few days i've got up and can't motivate myself to do anything. End up watching TV all day or on internet.
Doesn't help that we've got new DVD's and loads of Sky+ to watch.
Watched about 10 episodes of The Big Bang Theory yesterday.

business and admin, not interesting or impressive, but hopefully will mean chance of promotion and an extra 7k a year

Are you having to do Key Skills too? They are a pain in the arse.
I can assess business admin but haven't got anyone on my caseload for it yet.
Who's your training provider?

What about a bonus? Will you get a big enough bonus to buy a metro with R888's on it?

I'm also dreading. I do really love my job but have loved the time off more. I did really need it as I was shattered.
No planned time off for me now until my holiday to Turkey in September.

Yeah, the NVQ makes up part of the Appenticeship with the key/functional skills and probably a technical certificate?
Functional skills are okay because they are relevant, useable and up to date.
Keys skills are a pain in the arse. Numeracy especially, as you can't use a calculator etc. Who these days doesn't have access to a calculator at home/work. 99% of my students can't remember how to do long division/multiplication etc. Its a pain in the arse having to retrain it and they will never use it again.

Amen to that.
It's also picking up all the crap you decided to put off until the new year... Not looking forward to the first few days

Yeah I sent out a tender package the last day I was at work. Work was still open the week before Xmas that I was off and I went in to pick some parcels up and they said people had been on the phone with queries about the tender so I know I have shit to deal with when I get back
