After working at a couple of UK summer schools, I have decided to be kind to myself and never do it again. |

Great article. Wish I had read this before I signed up with Staffrod House. Oh well will grin and bear it. |

Don't hold your breath.
I expect these schools use a very good quality washing powder that cleans 'whiter than white'. |

I'm not so sure. My experience as a union rep has taught me that a lot of senoir managers aren't half as smart as they'd like to think they are. Some of the more professionally run outfits might be able to cover their backs, but not all of them. |

Not surprising. I worked for ISIS one summer and, while claiming it was a 9-5 with one day off a week, the arrivals, departures and general 24-7ness of the camp kept me hopping full time. I pulled about a week of 15-18 hour days before deciding "F**&$#@" and slacking off. The camp went to hell, and I avoided an ulcer.... |
