So today I got a phone call from a lovely woman at the job centre. This woman was ringing to apologize for the lack of communication among her staff last week in regard to me. She could not have been more apologetic! I said it was fine, I was just frustrated because I hadn't been informed and then when I said I was unable to work to what they had rearranged, I looked like a fussy bitch!
ANYHOW, so she's ringing me for another reason - to cancel the bloody appointment set up for me last week because there was now no point because they had missed their targets. It's all about targets in these places, what if this group session had been valuable to me finding work huh? Didn't think about that one did ya Dave!
So, instead of me having to go to this session tomorrow, I am now back to seeing my adviser in a weeks time! What an utter mess about eh! I can't complain about this woman on the phone because she couldn't have been nicer and explained that none of what had happened was my fault (TRU DAT) but that her team made a "monumental cock-up" (again, tru dat).
I also told her I don't want to become one of the notorious (bursts into song) job seekers who week after week causes problems because this wasn't my fault and I was hoping to not have any more incidents like this. She told me that what happened wasn't even a mark on my record, she had to ring to make sure that everyone was clear that it was their fault. When I put the phone down I just laughed and laughed thinking, there is no wonder this country is up shit creek when the people they hire to help you find a job don't even have a bloody clue what they're doing.
Anyhow, there will be no post tomorrow like I said there would be, next week though (5th)!
Enjoy!
Deborah.
