I really need a job, but it’s tricky… I have a years Supervisory experience and six months Managerial, it’s kind of an awkward middle ground. Not enough experience to go and run a store straight out, too much experience to be a sales assistant, and it seems most supervisors are promoted internally. I found it easier to get a job when I had no experience whatsoever to be honest.
My Mum is always on at me… “Please go and get a job”… Yeah, like it’s that easy. You can’t just simply walk into the Jobcentre and say “Can I have a job please?” then they give you one there and then, she just doesn’t seem to understand that.
Due to an almighty fuck-up, I’ve not had any Jobseekers allowance since November, and it looks no-where near being sorted. Idiots, the lot of them. If it were one of their family on benefits they’d sort it out in no time. In order to try and take the burden off Lady T and my Mum I’ve resorted to selling… pretty much a bit of everything I own. From old board games to my huge comic collection to around a third of my videogames. To be honest I’m quite thankful of that, as it keeps me real. I can no longer afford to buy a game just to “have” it, I buy games that I’m interested in and will actually play.
Er… I’ve waffled on for far too long, there are things I need to be doing. Laters.
