To paraphrase a senior Microsoft executive (not Bill gates as the traditional tale goes), your grandparents would have a word for that - it's called an opportunity! C'mon, work is work, a payslip is a payslip, and it's extra stuff on your CV as opposed to, "Well, I sat on my arse doing nowt." At least you aren't a matchday programme seller for Manure

Be truthful and say you would rather watch a piss poor team playing piss poor footy than working and earning dollars.

What about Bar work? You could probably get the shifts you wanted although i reckon you'd have to work more evenings than days. I worked at a place called Margharitas for a while which is a kinda half restaurant and half bar/club place. Suited me down to the ground, might be something of similar interest for you too.

I really want to work at the pub down the road, I asked if they were looking for any bar staff but sadly they're not Might go into town tomorra, see if I can find any more potential employers. I don't mind working later in the day but I can imagine getting a bit panicky when a bar gets busy..

Spozz, York University have a temp pool - you apply, have an interview then they find you admin and other work in one of their departments as and when it comes up. I thought about it briefly when I fancied the idea of moving there - they pay well too.
Details should be on the website, I can dig you out a link if you can't find it though
