Hmmm… in OD

So, you’re probably all wondering how training went? Did I have fun learning how to make drinks and sit letting people in?

Well, no.

It didn’t happen.

As far as I know, anyway.

I turned up, just before 1, found the person who interviewed me standing outside the place and said I was there for the training.

At which point, he told me that it had been cancelled and that I should phone back later on to find out what’s happening.

So, phone back a few hours later only to be told by the guy I al;ways speak to on the phone from the place that training was that day. I pointed out what happened to me and he said that he didn’t know what was happening and he isn’t in charge.

This is the guy the jobcentre website told me to contact. This is the same guy who is now on the jobcentre website as being the guy that you have to send application forms to (they’ve readvertised the jobs).

This is all begining to sound just a little bit fishy.

He told me to phone back today and he’d let me know what the hell was happening.

I phone baqck at lunchtime. The guy asks me whether I was chosen to work on Saturday. The hell? How the fuck could that have happened when I was told training was cancelled on Friday. I said no and he said he’d phone me back and let me know what was happening.

I’m getting a feeling here.

The sort of feeling that makes me glad I didn’t actually sign off last week.

The feeling that, to be frank, I’ve been fucked about with for the past week.

The feeling that they’re not going to call me back.

I’m due into Triage tomorrow. My advisor will ask me what’s going on and I’ll tell him. If he is serious about what his job is supposed to be, he’ll take over from there.

As for me? I have to assume I’m back to square 1. I’ve already phoned about one job (went to voicemail so I’m waiting for the guy to phone back) and I’ve to drop off an application form for another one on my way to class tonight.

I’m pissed off about the lost week jobsearching more than anything.
