The bitch I dealt with for my interview was a horrible horrible cunt. Demeaning, demoralising, sarcastic, rude, unhelpful. If everyone had someone like her it's no wonder so many people are unemployed.
I got a well nice lady on the phone when I was getting asked about 1000 questions with yes/no answers. She asked if I had any savings, and me not having a fucking clue was like, mmm i'm not sure I think so. And she said "i'll take that as a no then".
The women I got on the phone was a retard. She couldn't comprehend anything I told her, booked me in for an appointment firstly in the wrong town, then at the wrong job centre in the right town and logged my claim date incorrectly. Simpleton!
the bloke on the phone today said "if we accidentally put more into your account we will phone you to tell you not to spend it because we will be taking it back" So i said,
"you mean just incase you accidentally put 10 million in my account" and he laughed :D
apparently they do, or why else would they say it. Maybe they just have to say it incase it happens and people spend the money thinking theyve got an increase in benefits
Like the time Orange accidentally put £70 on my phone instead of £20. That was a good day. They didn't sort it out til I'd spent most of it but didn't bother getting at me for spending it all.
Not that I'm the type of person who will spend £70 of credit in a day, but if it's there I might as well use it before my luck runs out.
On the dole - they're starting to wise to me. I just sometimes forget that I'm on the dole, then realise that I really want and need a job. So they wonder why I'm not getting any replies. I'm just holding out to get one of these civil service jobs, but they're not announced till late June.
I have a job but I'd hardly call it being locked into a daily grind. I only have to work Monday to Thursday, with a 3 day weekend every week. Plus I have minions to make me tea and biscuits as well as go and get me lunch if I don't feel like getting some fresh air at lunch time. Throw in the fact I can sit here on bluelight for the next 30minutes and I'd say Spade probably works harder than me.
