Lucky with the vacation! Hey Laasya!!! I'm soooo sleeepppppyyyyyyyyyyy!!! Why can't class end sooner, I still have 6 hours left before I can go home!

It surprises me to see that staff applications have such a short time limit for applying. I see the point of that a certain amount of activity is required, but I myself know how slowly I write when it is something important I have not even thought about applying, just so it is stated. It just struck me as a bit odd!

Hi Rosalyn!
And class is so irritating. Basically it means suffering from 7:30 to 2:10, especially when everyone is yelling and screaming

Interesting! We always like to hear people's opinions. What time limit do you have in mind instead?

I have not thought it through properly yet, but I would immediately suggest closer to two-three weeks. Gives time to consider and reach a decision, as well as time for people to formulate a proper application. It also keeps the time relatively short to get the posisjon filled. When I myself start writing it starts out as word vomit, so a lot of rewriting is necessary! But not all minds work like mine

I’m the opposite - I prefer a short deadline, otherwise I would forget about it, and put it off. I find writing with a time limit is fun, as I’m able to push myself to my limits, and do the best that I can, in the shortest possible time!

Agreed! If I have a short deadline, I actually make sure to do it instead of forgetting.

Nah if I ever met the criteria for any staff role, I'd need at least 2 weeks. Some people are busy

I panic at short deadlines! End up stressing so much nothing gets done xD

Same as Max and Emily!
