  • 'Inappropriate Attitude'

    I've just failed a test at one of the training providers on purpose because I don't agree with their policies.

    Yet again I had to sit a basic numeracy and literacy test; and this really pisses me off. The main part of the literacy test consisted of answering questions about a mocked-up job desciption. The first question just asked what the benefits were and since I refused to mention the wages [minimum wage] or the statutory holidays as benfits my answer was marked as incorrect; likewise when I failed to acknowledge the gap between periods of a split shift as free time.

    So...I was informed that I have an 'inappropriate attitude.'

    Well; sod 'em!

  • The early bird?

    I just turned up by mistake for an appointment with a training provider thinking that it was for 09:30 this morning, when in fact it isn't until one o'clock this afternoon; I've confused it with another appointment from last week with someone at the jobcentre. It's not the first time it's happened; I'm easily confused when I've got several appointments in the same week with different people in different offices...it's one of the major problems I have with being unemployed; I like routine and having a job where I go to the same place five days a week is a lot less complicated.
