Aaaaah Katikus you have my sympathy! I don't think I could ever clean up people's poo!!! if that's what working hostels are like then no wonder the woman in the hostel I stayed in in NY was such a cow! (not just saying that... she actually insulted me in spanish to the person she was working with cos she thought I couldn't understand... whoops.) Aaaah I digress
aaah I miss the security of school, I left 6th form last year, to work and travel, then bum about a bit, uni next year please!! I start work at Argos sometime this month; soul destroying.
Aaaah everyone good luck in your GCSE year!! (yes I know they're not til early summer... but I'd forget!)

Jeez I'm not sure I made such a smart decision going back to college. I'm knackered! 
Where I work I'm on a programme to learn a certain amount of stuff in a certain time - so I can be taken on full time and promoted. But that arrangement started when I thought I wasn't going back to college. Then I did. And so now I'm doing both, which is basically a bit shite. Lol.

Oh Liz, that really sounds exhausting! I'm sooo lazy. I wouldn't be motivated to study anything. I feel bad about it sometimes. 
Nikki, that's really annoying. Bad teachers are a waste of space and time. Real shame. When I once lived in a house with a Norwegian girl who spent a year in the UK she had people in her group that had German at college and they wouldn't even say hello to me because their German teacher was so horrible that it kind of put them off to interact with any Germans. Back in school I had a girl in my year who changed schools because my school didn't offer the kind of intensive French course she would've needed to get the right qualifications for her future job. So she changed schools and went to a school in the next bigger town for the last two years. I felt a bit sorry for her but she had to do it to reach her future goal.
Aww Kate, I feel for you. The stories I get to listen to from housekeeping sometimes... *urgh* I've had my fair share of vomit, too. Elderly lady being sick in the lift (the freaking lift!), after cleaning that I was ready to being sick in there too. Then a schoolboy being sick on top of some stairs... and not just in one spot but actually aaaall the way to the door (which was about 2 - 3 metres) and also the left and right sides of the walls... Yay!
Then I also seem to get the odd injury during my shifts (it's mostly my shifts but that might be because I'm working quite a lot of shifts sometimes). A few days ago I had this elderly lady who caught her leg on a chair and because she had pretty thin skin she pulled away quite a chunk. So I was bandaging her up and all and her friend was there too and she was more shaken up than the lady herself. Then she started asking me all sorts of questions as if I was a doctor but best part was as she indicated her friend to show me something and said woman pulls away some plaster from her arm (there were several) and presents me with some kind of growth and seriously asks me what, with my kind of knowledge, I would think that was. Gosh, I was looking at this something and wasn't sure whether to start crying in disbelief that they were just doing this to me or break out in hysterical laughter about the bizarre situation. Let alone that I haven't watched any Emergency Room etc in ages so I don't even know half the vocabulary for this. *lol* I just said I wouldn't know and her friend goes "yeah, the doctor didn't know what it was" and I was just thinking "excuse me?! sure, so let's just ask the hotel receptionist... she must have an idea...".. *lol* I ended up saying "get it removed and sent in then you might find out". I have no clue. Ha ha. However, my favourite is still the guy that impaled himself on one of the spikes that run along our main stairs outside. That was just surreal... and his wife was a bit b*tchy with me before the accident but then she was really very nice.
Also, this might be just me, but I find lots of people are quite smelly lately... bad breathe and all. 
I love my job though... even if people irritate me a lot sometimes. And yeah, still better than your job, Kate.
