Good for you. Hope everything works out. I went to see Olly Murs and JLS Last night. Great concert. It was outside and the sun shined all day. That's two days of summer we've had this year. Hopefully I will be made full-time in a couple of weeks. My Associate Principal has to make a case to HR to increase my hours. I was full-time until 5 years ago the job I did was a fixed contract and when that ended I got a new job in the college but it was only part-time. Since then I have been trying to get full-time hours but not been lucky, but in the last year or two all the other faculty staff have all been made full-time, the faculty I work in is the only one with part-time staff yet I do as much if not more work than those on full-time hours do. So fingers crossed.

Hope it works out for you, I am keeping fingers and toes crossed for you xx

Anyway, Shiv, the best of luck with everything and I hope it all turns out well for you.

Got your book at last Parkerman, husband loved it as did I!! Left you a good review on Play.com.

Thank you. I've just read the review. It's much appreciated.

Thank you Perdy. I have been trying for ages to get full-time but always been refused due to lack of money in the budget, but at work there are 5 faculties. There used to be 6 but they merge 2 a couple of years ago. The structure was a full-time admin and a part-time clerical, but since last year all the other clerical's have been made fulll-time apart from me. Also my admin who is also my direct line manager can't do half the jobs he's supposed to so I have to do them. He suffered an illness a few years ago similar to meningitis. It has affected him memory, because of this I have to do my job and half of his but I don't get the credit for it, and they can't demote him. Management would rather bury their heads in the sand rather than admit he needs help and support. On top of this my work load has been increasing over the last couple of years. I had my yearly staff development review this week. I stated my case and my AP agreed with me so hopefully in the next few weeks I'll be able to have to few more coppers in my purse. If I don't get the extra hours there are a couple of other jobs coming up in the college so I may apply for one of them. I just think it's unfair that I do double the work than some staff, yet get half the pay.

[Perdita]

You are absolutely right, you should get rewarded for all the extra work you are doing. Good luck hun x

Hope ye had a good birthday Shiv! that sucks about the audit though.

I had my birthday a while back which was very nice, i went sailing to Ireland delivering a boat which was in the tall ships festival, dont know if anyoneseen this. It was in Waterford for 4 days and i had a fantastic time. Then i have been up to the west coast of Ireland visiting the famly! and that has been great as well. Its nice to catch up evry once in a while. Very tired now and come crashing back to reality! Not been used to things like traffic or busy roads over there!

now just to find a job.
