Exam Results....

[fishtank]

Sitting here,chewing my nails waiting for my 16 year old son's exam results to drop through the door.
Practising my best..."it doesn't matter...there's always next year face".
They don't tell you about days like this in the Parenting for dummies book.
Where's that feckin useless postman?

Where's that feckin useless postman?

Show some respect, he's now your DOM!

I have a vague memory of waiting for my exam results and they were never as good as I'd hoped for.

So how did they go?

Your postman is probably sweating his nuts off carrying a bag round the streets for 1/2 a crown a week whilst the students lie in bed waiting for their exam results to be delivered

Can't you pop round the school?

Passed them all CCR. 7 altogether so i'm very proud of the sulky long-haired EMO kid.
He wanted a credit in History or English so that he could study Politics and he got History so he's very happy.

I actually dont really mind delivering the results! The amount of ppl that make sure they are in today, look out for you coming down the street, meet you at the door to take the mail. No bending down to that low letter box. No having to carry the undelivered packet round with me.

Congratulations from all of us here on the West Coast to the young Fishtank.

Good on him

That talk you gave him Fishtank must have worked.
You know the one that goes "study hard at school son or else you end up like me, a postie slogging your guts out around the streets for bugger all"

He doesn't know i'm a postie krussel.
I change out of my uniform before i get home...he thinks i'm on the dole....it's less embarrassing.

I tell my kids i work as a rent boy in local gay bars,they can't believe the job pays so little. I don't think i can keep it up much longer!(the deception that is)

For me it's the other way round I put the uniform on and go out every day because I am on the dole.

Actually FT , you have to go through the same again through college and then Uni - then of course they need a job - there must be many many parents on here who have seen their children try and try again to get work - it's actually easier as a student but when the education is finished...................

Like it

Mind you in truth i once knew a postie who had lost his office job and used to change into a whistle and flute before he went home.
