I had a job seekers allowance meeting and it has made me even more determined to get another job as fast as possible.
It's another world inside those places and not one that I want to inhabit any longer than I have to.
I was met by two members of staff and directed to my interview on the first floor of the town centre job centre.
I had an appointment arranged for 3.20 pm and was met by the scruffiest security guard in the world wearing the biggest suit in the world and was asked my name.
He signed me off on his list and directed me to sit down.As other people arrived he seemed to be in charge of pissing them off because that is what happened time and time again. He was completely charmless.
I watched another 5 people arrive and they all had 3.20 pm appointments.
There were 2 people carrying out the interviews and 5 people waiting. I knew I was going to be in there for a while.
The worlds scruffiest security guard was getting quite aggravated as more claimants arrived and made his annoyance known. He was asking the claimant advisor how long he was going to be and he pointed out that it was nearly 4 O-clock!
I felt bad enough having to sit in that festering pit with my begging hand out without having to listen to this dick, moaning about having to do his job. If any one is getting money for nothing it's people like him.
I went through all my responsibilities and obligations with an advisor and everything was very pleasant and polite.
I had to tell them about the ADR course I am booked onto next week and the advisor said not to mention it because it meant I was not going to available for work that week.
I got out of the Job Centre at 5 pm.
The scruffiest security guard in the world had gone.
I had a good interview with a company in Nottingham for some class C work in Melton and I am feeling pretty confident going on what the guy said to me.
Fingers crossed I will have some more Lorryday adventures soon.
