  • Can someone help me regarding hours in work?

    Okay I work for a pretty large company in the UK who I shall not name because I'm not here to criticise them or anything.

    I started as a Christmas worker in November or so and worked through until Christmas Eve then was out until Easter again until they asked me back for some shifts during that busy time. When I was there over Easter a person left and I was offered their shift which for sake of argument we'll say is 2-10 on a Wednesday. (8 hour shift)

    I continued doing this shift until I was notified that I was wanted to do another 8 hour shift which again for sake of argument we'll say is 2-10 on a Thursday. This meant for me I'd be working 16 hours a week at £6.50 an hour pulling me about £400 a month which is perfect for me as I'm planning to go to College (UK) in September.

    I never signed a contract to this however but there was a clear verbal agreement between myself and my floor manager which in our company I get the impression carries a higher weight that one might first think. This manager however is leaving the shop on the 30th June and 2 trainee managers are taking over until a permanent replacement is found. I checked the rota today and I was down for 4 different 3 hour shifts amounting to 12 hours instead of the 16 we came to agreement on.

    Everyone I work with just told me to continue doing my regular shifts and ignore the rota and that's what I'm going to do because I think the rota's just messed up this week, but should worst come to worst and a manager was trying to change my shifts about that makes me feel very unsecure in my job as my previous contract was disposable and I could be told to not bother coming in whenever they wanted really. I don't think I signed anything for that either though, it's all very confusing.

    I'm part of a union so I'd give them a shout but I'd just like other opinions while I'm in the mood to talk about it, thanks.

  • Smoked Marijuana for the first time today...?

    I'm having really bad indigestion and just went to the toilet and had diarrhoea... There was one bit of poop that was red. I'm not too worried, I'll probably sleep it off whenever I get to sleep but right now my stomach's churning like crazy and I feel so sick.

    I think I was swallowing the smoke a bit (I don't smoke normal cigarettes)

    Any help would be so fantastic, thanks

  • is delivering mcdonald's illegal?

    Like is going through the drivethru, ordering meals, then bringing the food to peoples' house illegal? Everyone knows that times are tough and I'm looking for ways to make money, with the network of people me and a friend have in our city this could be very successful providing there's a legal solution.

    It would operate the same as a chinese delivery system, we buy all the food with our own money and keep whatever the customer pays us and restock and go out again.

    Is this legal? or what would be a "technically legal" way of doing it?

    If someone text me saying "Can I have 20 chicken nuggets, a medium big mac meal and 2 medium fries to 21 Grange Gardens?" and I text back saying "Okay no problem, can you give me money for the fuel it requires to give you this stuff since I'm doing you a favour?" which is obviously the delivery charge, would that be legal?

  • I want to work for myself but can't decide what to do?

    At the minute I'm an out of work, out of school 18 year old. I've never had any desire to carry on in school or go to university simply because it just doesn't appeal to me, all I've ever wanted to do is to go out there and start making money. Little did I know when I was 14 that the world would be in such a horrible state by the time I turned a legal adult that more people are losing their jobs than gaining employment.

    It's got to the point where I have to take action rather than blaming the government, older generation, economies, businesses, bankers etc. and find a way to make money for myself. I drive a car and have a wonderful girlfriend who I want to make proud of me and who supports me through thick and thin, even though I'm the class clown with a chip on his shoulder and she's the A* student who loves puppies and cuddles she loves me unconditionally and the feeling's mutual.

    Now to looking for advice... I need to make money and need to make it for myself as there's absolutely no companies looking for what I'm qualified and experienced in. I have little specific skills and even less qualifications. I'm physically not qualified to do anything of note and have only experience in Sales Occupations, however, things I would consider myself talented at our, painting and decorating, manual labour, car valeting, driving, customer service and selling.

    I need help, I have £200 to live on for the foreseeable future, I live with my mother and her boyfriend so I'll always have a roof over my head but having nothing to do all day is beginning to effect my mental health.

    All help appreciated! Thanks!

  • Question about the pill?

    Me and my girlfriend had sex today without using a condom, we would normally always use one anyway but today we just sort of got caught in the moment and went for it. She's on the pill and keeps telling me it's fine but I'm a bit confused...

    Yesterday was the last day of taking it before she goes off it for a week but she told me her doctor told her that she could still have sex today or maybe the whole week, can't remember exactly. So basically she didn't take a pill this morning because this is the beginning of her week off but has taken every single pill up until now since she started them maybe 2 or 3 months ago.

    Is this okay? I'm probably just being stupid but I want to make sure this is alright because it sounds weird to me just because she took nothing this morning.

    Thanks

  • This girl's going to end up killing me?

    *THIS WAS ORIGINALLY A POST ON A FORUM, SO IT'S NOT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSED TO YAHOO ANSWERS READERS*

    Met a girl 2 months ago, we got really flirty and she would always ask me to come over and stuff or come into town or just generally hang out together, then about a month ago when we were both drunk in my house she admitted that she liked me and then went back to her house to stay over but I didn't want to pull anything because she's just broke up with her ex and I didn't want to be her rebound because I kind of liked her too so I was cautious.

    So there past month we've been close and cuddly and all that craic and I've stayed over at her house another 2 times, both times nothing happened because I'm still not sure if she's over her ex but I've seriously grown to like her an insane amount more than I originally did. About 2 weeks ago probably she told me she was over her ex for definite and all I was thinking about was asking her out but I wanted to leave it for a while to make sure it's still not too soon, she's the emotional sort.

    Then I find out she's been texting another guy, pretty "constantly for about 10 days" in her own words and she went to meet up with him and I actually bumped into them while dealing with some business, Belfast's a small place. I look at this guy and think, without being cocky, that he's really got nothing on me.

    Yesterday she's in my house, and we have an insanely serious conversation about where we are, where we're going and all that kind of stuff. She told me that she kind of likes that other guy a wee bit and that she wants to give him a fair crack of the whip to make sure she's "not missing out on something incredible". I literally felt like such an idiot, I felt like such an inferior person to this other guy who I still think to be honest doesn't have anything on me, and I think she kind of sees it the same way.

    I made the point to her, I've known you for 2 months, I've slept in your house 3 times, we've been really close for a month and you admitted that you liked me first but you've text that guy and only seen him once.

    On reflection I've came to a kind of conclusion, I think she's still not over her ex even if she says she is, the funny thing I discovered is that this other guy is friends with her ex and actually only lives a few streets away which makes me think is she still wants to have some connection to him because she hasn't adapted to life without him, infact I ran into her ex yesterday whilst I was actually with her and she seemed really weird after it.

    The bad thing is now that she hasn't text me in about 8 hours but she's had time to go on Facebook, comment on peoples' stuff, like peoples' stuff and post a status while I'm just sitting here wondering what's happening. So now, the whole thing's completely flipped on me and I'm the one doing all the chasing when it felt like I was being chased at the start.

    Hate my life lads having a serious conversation again tomorrow, unless she comes up with a reason not to, in which case it will most definitely be the end of our wee stint.

    The thing that annoys me more than anything though is I was the one being different, jumping through hoops, showing the respect, understanding her, listening to her and not being a "typical guy". I actually wanted to form some sort of trust between us and create a base for a long term relationship. I had my mates slag her off and I defended her, I had other things that I don't want to discuss sorted out to make her life easier and to make sure nobody would bother her in her area after some troubles in the past. I didn't decide to like her because of her looks, she's normal, she's not like drop dead gorgeous, I liked her because of her laugh and her personality genuinely. I didn't try to get into her pants straight away even though I could've because she was just out of that other relationship, I tried to show respect and honour instead of being a sleaze.

    She described me as "the perfect guy", what went wrong?

    My head is melted, I felt like I was going to have a heart attack earlier when I seen a certain something somewhere, I literally had to lie down for about 15 minutes because it felt like I had been shot.

    Nice guys never win, I'm going back to being the ******** I was before.

  • this girl's really messing my head up at the minute?

    I'm not sure where me and this girl stand and it's really beginning to frustrate me to the point where I'm thinking about just stopping talking to her because it feels like a waste of my time and that she's just leading me on..

    Right so I met this girl about a month and a half ago and we've been kind of romantically involved for like a month, she told me she liked me, she kissed me first and I've stayed over at her place 3 times, in her bed twice but we didn't have sex or anything. Originally I didn't like her as much as I think she liked me and I felt in the more powerful and casual position. But now everything seems different, it's like I'm doing the chasing and she's calling the shots.

    Like a few days ago she asked me to come over, I got ready but then she text me asking me not to because "she wasn't in a seeing people mood" so I thought, alright no probs and went upstairs to play Xbox or something. But then later I found out she had her female friend over instead :/

    Then yesterday she was in my house and we were watching a film, kissing and all that stuff but she was texting some guy like quite a bit and then told me that they've been texting constantly for like 10 days so naturally I was kind of like "WTF"? But she told me she's not interested in him, he's just a friend and she doesn't find him attractive then she reminded me that she likes me etc. and she's not leading me on or anything.

    So today I'm running around town in my work gear sorting out some business (builder kind of stuff) and I'm on the phone and actually walk past her without noticing but she calls my name so I go over to talk to her. She reminds me that she's there to meet the guy that she was texting (she told me yesterday) and that he was half an hour late... So then she rings him and he's there and she just gets up and leaves me without like a nice goodbye and she didn't even want me to see the guy at all, infact she said if he comes over that we should act like we don't know eachother.

    The bit that worries me the most is that.. the whole time I've known her, today was the prettiest I've ever seen her, she looked really really nice but it kills me to know that it wasn't to see me.

  • There's 2 girls I could probably go out with but I'm not sure what to do?

    Alright, let me try and explain this as best as I possibly can...

    There's 1 girl I know who goes to my College (UK College, not like university) and I've had her round my house before kissing and stuff and she really likes me but I only kind of like her, none of my friends know her so there's not really any drama that way but at the same time it means we have less in common.

    There's another girl, who I work with, I've known her a far shorter time but have been in her house 3 times, stayed overnight on her sofa with her sleeping beside me, had her in my house kissing and stuff but we have a lot of "friends" in common and some of those "friends" are not the nicest folk. I feel like there could be a lot of talking behind my back and stuff by other people.

    I think girl number 2 is prettier, funnier and like way cuter and sort of childish but in a good way. Girl number 1 probably likes me a lot more but I think they both like me quite a bit.

    Girl number 2 is more fun, goes to more parties but not as a sex object, just for fun, invites me a lot and I've known her such a short time! Girl 2 is more sexually experienced, which kind of scares me because I've only had drunken sex twice, girl 1 is a virgin.

    Basically I'm not sure what to do, personally I like girl 2 a bit more for different reasons, but I don't know how to tell girl 1 without really hurting her feelings and I don't want to keep her thinking I'm still interested in her because I'm not really if I'm honest that much any more :(

    How can I let her down nicely and based on what you've read who's the more suitable girl?

  • Failed my driving test - going ballistic, driving instructor doesn't know why either?

    So so so so so angry right now.

    I've just waited about a month to do this with lessons in between and had to pay £130 for the test for christ sake and I've been failed for not being an idiot.

    He asked me to turn right at possible the stupidest right turn I've ever seen, there's not even any signs displaying where the turn actually is so I turned my indicator off and continued straight ahead which is a minor as I do it correctly, he gave me a serious fault.

    Then on the carriageway I went into the right lane firstly for about 10 seconds before reading the bus lane opening times and went left, I got another serious even though the carriageway was completely empty.

    Can't even be bothered explaining the rest of the ridiculous minors he even gave me.

  • I think I'm falling in love with her but have left it too late?

    I find it so hard to explain this, my head's a mess at the minute.

    I've left it a bit too long to turn this into a relationship I think, we've been out 3 times and I haven't kissed her, she was hinting to me and I knew she wanted me to but I was too afraid. I'm just out of depression that lasted about 9 months and haven't been with a girl in like a year probably so initiating a kiss has became a hard thing for me to do because I can't read women as well as I used to be able to.

    I know she likes me, but I feel her enthusiasm towards me slipping away as if she's losing hope, any person out there with 2 brain cells know what this does to a guy, it just makes me want her more. I've been off sick the past few days and haven't really been talking to anyone in person, I think I've been having too much time to think..

    I'm starting to get such strong feelings for her but am reluctant to do anything about it because I fear I'm being friend zoned, my head's a mess right now.

  • How to kiss a girl for the first time?

    Alright, basically every time I've had a first kiss I've been drunk (Irish, top o' the mornin' to ya)

    I've never been sober to kiss a girl before (for the 1st time) and I feel incredibly awkward trying to do it, she gave me the signs but I just didn't go in for it out of fear, she's far more experienced than me in every walk of sexual life.

  • My driving test is next week and I'm so nervous?

    I just simply HAVE to pass, it'll be the first time I'm doing it and failing is not an option, I need to pass or it would seriously damage one of the best things going for me right now.

    I want to take this girl I really like to the zoo over Easter, already told her that I want to take her and she's like really excited, I don't want to have to bring her on a bus there and back, I want to pick her up at her house, drive to the zoo, maybe go back to mine and drop her off at her door simply because it's a far more impressive and nice thing to do.

    I wasn't nervous until I knew this was happening, I thought "oh yeah, driving test, that's sweet I'll just do whatever I can do." Now that she's into the equation I feel the overwhelming pressure to pass not to let her down, she would probably get the bus with me because she's such a nice girl but I really want to do something nice for her.

    Somebody give me tips? I'm confident in my driving ability, my main fear is getting a real sour examiner who looks for an excuse to fail you.

    I can't mess this up.

  • Going to the cinema with a girl tonight?

    I've been out with girls before but oddly enough I've never been to the cinema with one alone, strange. Most of my encounters involve alcohol and it's get to the extent that I'm not very confident to try things when I'm sober whether it be kissing or something more. I know this girl likes me, it's basically written all over her face and I kind of like her as well so that's fine.

    Any girls give me advice on typical girl "moves"? I know there's going to be sexual tension, how can I tell if she wants me to kiss her in the cinema, what's the typical signs a girl makes in this situation?

    Also, is it not really awkward trying to kiss in the cinema? I wouldn't quite know how to get my head in the right position, anyways, thanks for the answers.

  • Should I go with this girl or not?

    Massive dilemma.

    There's this girl I know and she's really into me, I can see if radiating off her and she drops a lot of hints. She's pretty in a unique way that not everyone would understand and maybe be a tiny bit chubby but it's kind of cute. The problem is I kind of want a girlfriend but if it was her I don't think I'd take the relationship that seriously because I'm not like CRAZY about her or anything although I know she really really likes me.

    I don't want to sound vein but I just want a girlfriend I can kind of show off, I don't want any crap from my mates about her and all that stuff and I'm not sure everyone else would see what I see in her. It's okay to say "just go with her because you feel it's right" but I don't want to screw up other areas of my life and maybe future relationships.

    I'm really unsure, don't know whether I should hold out for someone else or get with her and maybe break her heart someday, I'd feel horrible.

  • I'm scared of driving a petrol car?

    I've been learning in a diesel 1.5 engine car and it's such a smooth easy ride, I'll be doing my test soon but will most likely be having to buy a 1.2 petrol car for obvious reasons such as insurance. I've tried driving my mum's petrol car (not sure on engine size) and it's so different! It's just weak, you can hardly feel the bite at all, I stalled it 12 times before I could get it to go, I'm scared of doing this constantly on the roads!
