Does anyone here work another job after their round?

Post by jw1234 »

Was thinking of doing a bit of gardening after work over the summer to earn a few extra pennies. Any one do anything like that, and how do you find it? Also looking for ideas! :nana

Often do collections after my round. A lot easier than our job, and you are actually treated like a real person!!

Is that with royal mail? I guess those jobs are given out through seniority... I'll have years to wait yet :cry

Collections are NOT based on seniority, everyone is entitled to do them, in our office it's usually about this time every year that you can put your name down for it.

You're not going to make any money either if you're spending all your profit on viagra .......... you need to charge more for your services :wink:

European or UK? (european gets more) I tried bleaching my arse for a higher rate but i used asda's basic savers brand, done it myself and ended up redning my arse too much so i'd say pay the extra and get it done professionally... :crazy:

I've only been with RM a few months and have been asked if I want to start doing collections so it's not about seniority, well not in our office anyway.

I don't think I got time for another job but I would love to be paid to go to parties and take photos as it should be good fun.
