Fucking bunch of complete and utter useless twats in OD

Yeah, this isn’t going to be happy fun time entry.

So, as you lot probably know, about 6 months ago I was sent to an agency instead of signing on. Admittedly, there wasn’t a hell of a lot they could do for me, but still.

At least I didn’t have to deal with the jobcentre.

Three weeks ago I was sent back to the jobcentre as I’d been at Pertemps for six months. The initial interview went well and I was told I would have to sign on every Monday morning. I went to the first signing, which was the week I was supposed to get paid. The next day, i got my last weeks money from Pertemps, with the rest supposedly going into my account on the Thursday.

Come Thursday morning, no fucking money.

So, off to the jobcentre with me, where I was told that they would have to put through a same day payment for me as they had no record on the system that I had actually signed that week. It’s this note that triggers the automatic payment.

By the end of the day I finally, finally had my money. It really should not be this hard, but I can understand, these things happen.

But that would be the end of the problem, right?

Well, until today.

Y’see, that was exactly two weeks ago. So, hauled myself out of bed early today and went to the bank. The plan was to get some shopping, top up my phone, give my landlord money I owe him and see about my new tat.

Except, when I checked my account, the was no fucking money. Again.

So, back to the jobcentre go I. Back on the phone. and they know why I didn’t get my money today. See if you can guess.

Go on.

Here’s an amusing pic while you wait:

Ready?

OK, hands up if you said that there was nothing on the system to indicate that I had signed on Monday?

Cangratumalations! Milk and cookie (or soft drink and biscuit of your choice) for getting it absolutely spot on!

Yup, the exact same fucking thing that happened a fortnight ago has happened again.

So, this time they’re going to phone me about what they’re going to do. Course, they were supposed to have called by now, so it’s back to the jobcentre for me.

And from now on I’m not leaving when I sign on until I have seen with my own eyes that the note has been put on the system. Cos, I’m sorry. But once is a mistake. More than that in a row suggests either incompetence or stupidity.

*EDIT* They’ve just phoned and it’s going to be another same day payment. So, I am getting my money, but that’s not the fucking point, is it? The point is that I shouldn’t have to do it at fucking all!
