jobseeking
"What exactly DO you do all day anyway?"
"Well, its not like you've anything better to do"
"While your out, get me one of those, I'll give you the money back later" (If it's signing day, I dont have the money to do so, unless im very lucky. £120 only goes so far you know... especially when 2/3 is the rent I pay you.)
"I dont ask for much, while I and your father are out at work..." (Usually mid-rant while she is yelling at me for not spotting a chore that needs doing or something.)
<silence> (from potential employers)
"Sorry, we've got nothing. We'll call you when we get something" (from agencies)
"So, what have you been doing to look for work"(on ,strike>signing</strike>begging day every fortnight)
"Here's a waitressing job, 40hrs a week, minimum wage" (when they do the jobsearch for you and nothing relevent comes up, leaving me to explain once again why I am not suited to waitressing and therefore it is not a viable option. This is usually followed by the look that indicates they think im another long-term dole scrounger...)
"Are you really looking for work" (in the come clean tone of voice, usually expressed by Elderess.brit on a monthly basis, and followed by) "Have you got any proof? Oh its not for me, its for the jobcentre. You know they ask every 6 months..." (no... really?)
Is it any wonder I get depressed, withdrawn, and want to spend time in my room instead of mindlessly zombifying in front of the TV with the rest of you? |
