why is it everything decent happens on a Sunday, the day I'm working 
, our last run out, the 4x4 jobie, HHC open day... everything happens on a Sunday. Humph!
I would investigate a shift change, but after just finding out I'm to lose my job come the Summer, I don't think there's much point I only asked for 6 weeks unpaid leave 
No really, I mentioned it in the interview, and just asked about it now, I'm off to Cairo mid June for 2/3 weeks dependent then off to PF and tour the South Coast (maybe). Total of about 6 weeks. To do, Ikea have 2 choices, either drop me to a 0 hour contract and then re-instate me when I come back (unfeasible apparently) or allow me to resign.
I asked if there was anything to be done for coming back and it would be a case of "re-apply and hope, if nothing is avaiable
". Gutted to say the least!

As pointed out as a student I need every penny (especially running a car now), and ikea is a great company to work for (as in company on the tills), but if they are prepared to let me go for the sake of 6 weeks holiday? Not that great a company then!
Onwards and upwards
Summer holidays should be grand - ultimately it'll be my last Summer holidays ever so I plan to enjoy it. Enjoy it to the full!

I am going for it, and if they re-hire me, well it's not exactly the worst thing to leave work for is it I would worry about the problems later, but this year I'm surviving on the money I made in the Summer last year (how I bought the car) so I would want to do the same again (when I came back).
We'll see.
