Oh, how I hate my dissertation.
I hate it, I hate it, I HATE IT

For example; the dissertation handbook states:

"A typewritten label giving the following information should be firmly attached to the front cover of the Independent Study.

a.) the name of the candidate
b.) the title of the Independent Study
c.) the degree for which the Independent Study is being presented
d.) the month and year of submission"

but then, below, it gives an example of the title page which has all the extra gubbins in. So, is the cover:

a) Just a piece of paper with this label stuck on the front
b) A label with all the gubbins and shiz on
c) A sheet with all the gubbins AND the label stuck on it

And, if it is the label with all this random stuff on it, does it NEED to be a label or can it just be an A4 sheet, because finding a label big enough to put all the stuff that they want on it is NOT going to be easy

I need someone to answer my questions, dammit!

Well hello everyone! How are you all? Doing well I hope

I've started my new job now-am working at the Job Centre processing claims for Job Seekers Allowance, and it's brilliant-everyone is nice (well, mostly-there's one or two creeps-I'm fast learning NOT to wear anything vaguely revealing >.<). Worst thing was that they told me I wasn't allowed to talk to customers for the first few days, untill I'd done training and stuff-imagine me, not being allowed to talk!

My new job is in Bradford, so I'm not in Lincoln-most of you knew, but I left fairly quickly because I was not coping with all the stress and stuff that was going on in my house-if you know about it then you know, but if you don't I'm not gonna go in to details-it's not a big deal really, but I was getting very stressed out with it all so I decided to come home. And it was blooming lucky that I got the job over here!

Anyone who's not on Facebook and hasn't heard about my birthday thing, leave me a message and ask, and I'll let you know. S'gonna be AAAAACE though!

Love y'all xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
