Yes, I'm not at school, and my occupation is just a cleaning job at a care home. But we have homework what we HAVE to do, fail to do our homework will result in being fired. And I'm not exaggerating.

I've always hated homework, ever since I was a kid. I could never settle down and focus on it, especially if I wasn't interested in it. And I didn't even want to stay on at college because of the homework you'll have to do outside of college.

I hate my job as it is, I'm only there to earn a wage, and once I have finished my shift, I just want to get out of there and not have to think about it until I'm on my next shift.

We have about 20 (or more) different units to do, that have to be re-done every 3 or 4 months, but they are all spread out over the year so basically you have one due every 3 weeks or so. It's just so time-consuming, as you've got to go through lots of reading, and you can't just skip through it and go straight to the questions that are at the end. It's so time-consuming, and very boring, and I have attention problems as it is.

It is such a pain also, because I am doing all I can to get another job, and I was thinking about taking up some temporary courses to gain me more skills to get into a different job, but I think I will be too stressed because I have to think about this stupid homework online at home, but if I don't do it I will be fired. I don't want to get fired.

All that is called "In-Service." They do it to keep you on your toes.

I would hate it, too.

Hi Joe 90,
I commiserate entirely!
:(

My Years at school we're the most miserable, anxiety filled and dreaded time of my life!

So, you come home from eight hours of interaction with NT's, exhausted, just wanting to tune out and turn off,
for a few minute or hours if your lucky,
but there's this insidious thought at the back of your head-
your not finished yet...
your still in trouble...
wake up tomorrow and wake up in fear
:(

It is such a pain also, because I am doing all I can to get another job, and I was thinking about taking up some temporary courses to gain me more skills to get into a different job, but I think I will be too stressed because I have to think about this stupid homework online at home, but if I don't do it I will be fired. I don't want to get fired.


I wonder what would happen if every woman in the world that didn't want to get fired just quit?
Would there be a rush for males to take those jobs,
or would corporations just fail?

That sucks.

I always go straight to the questions. Luckily, with the ones I have to do you can submit the assessment page multiple times and still get a certificate at the end. Sometimes we buddy up and do a module each, then swap answers. I'd probably feel bad about doing this if the courses weren't so completely and utterly useless - but, well, they are.
