I'm just curious how to fit in that much work over the space of 2, or 3, days. That isn't a lot of time to fit 3 jobs.

And do you actually know the meaning of the word obnoxious? I don't think I said anything that was worthy of being considered obnoxious there.

It is quite easy to work at 3 jobs over three days....she may work for three different employers.....one on each day or she may work mornings for one employer.......afternoons or evenings for another employer two days per week and a full day for a different employer....or any combination of the three.
And as for asking if Nicola68 knows the meaning of the word obnoxious......I think she knows the meaning quite well....and will probably be along to give you the benefit of her education very soon.

There is nothing obnoxious about asking how you work three jobs over the weekend. Very few employers are willing to take on people for just a few hours because the paperwork just isn't worth it, or the training.

Plus you need to have a life as well. Presumably she is working the weekend because she is in education during the week.

I just don't see the benefit to it. You would struggle to get a highly paid graduate job without the evidence of getting the work/life balance right, and they expect you to show you know how to fit in fun activities into your schedule too.

It's just hard to see where the balance lies in that sort of lifestyle, and I was curious to know how she finds the balance. Is there something wrong with being curious to see how that can be done?

This person probably has her time management worked out how she wants it.......you do not know how long she plans to keep this work regime up......it may be just temporary. They may be jobs where she only does a few hours, or fills in as and when needed.

And there is nothing wrong with being curious about how it is done....but there is a way of asking the question in a softer way.

To Rebekah, Well done.....you deserve to prosper.

I didn't ask the question in a hard way in the first place.

'Just out of interest, how do you fit in 3 jobs over the weekend?'

This could have quite easily have been 'Surely you must be a liar, that isn't even possible. Prove it.'

There was nothing obnoxious about my question. Younger people and my friends always ask me about my timetable in a similar manner. There is nothing wrong with doing so.

And as for temporary work as a suggestion, yes, this possibility is EXACTLY why I asked.

I am sorry, but I think you two are just trying to cause an argument here when there doesn't need to be one.

Margaret Pilkington · 04-07-2009, 17:47

well, Blazey you are entitled to think what you like.

Firstly, you could have congratulated the girl on her enterprise and then the question would not have sounded like the second statement that you make.....which is what I took the question to mean......that must've been your thought too(or you would not have written it)......and if you can work out how she does it, then why ask the question????

Just asking.

Praise that someone has three jobs?

I used to have a friend in Accy who considered himself to have several jobs. One of them was being a drug dealer.

I'm not entirely sure there is something to praise in having three jobs. It could potentially be stupid if you are studying at the same time, as the recommended hours of work for a student is no more than 16 hours. As MY job is to discourage things like excessive work alongside studies, I don't think I should just throw out praise without knowing the full facts.

It's like that woman who got done for stealing from the PTA at St Mary's. She used to sell home made cards to the kids for, for example, Mother's Day with £1 coins taped in. Now that would be a praiseworthy act, but in retrospect, it was probably from the money she stole. So certainly not worthy of praise.

I don't think for a moment that this young lady does anything illegal or unethical, but I'd be wrong to assume that and just praise her regardless. I could be praising her for doing something I think should be discouraged, and that would be far worse than simply asking her about her schedule.

Margaret Pilkington · 04-07-2009, 18:04

so if you don't think she is doing anything illegal or unethical, why do you bring up theft and drug dealing?

You are also making assumptions about someone who was convicted of stealing from a PTA. Isn't that just a little bit dangerous?

And it is OK for you to make assumptions that the person who has three jobs is unable to study because she has three jobs....shouldn't you leave that judgement to her tutors, or better still to the girl herself?

Having three jobs means she has got out and looked for work that people say is non-existent....that in itself is worthy of praise.

And is everything that you don't agree with 'stupid'?
