Yesterday as I was lying in bed asleep some time around afternoon I received a couple of missed calls, as the phone rang each time I just lay there thinking to myself "fuck off world, I don't want any" - I thought it may have been the job centre telling me about my work placement - so I proceeded to ignore and roll over back to sleep. When I fully woke up and went downstairs I found a letter from the job centre detailing the dreaded work placement. I had previously thought that they were going to try and make me work at some charity shop/organization, but to me surprise they had something else in stall for me, it turns out they placed me at a waste recycling tip which is about an hour and a half commute each way. Being a wasteman was never the plan, this couldn't possibly end well.

After munching down a banana, I swiftly rolled a little joint and smoked that in the garden as I pondered what to do, where my life was heading, and so on. Then I remember about the missed calls, so I decide to call back and see who it was, it was in fact an agency that were ringing to let me know about a job vacancy at Tesco supermarket (I don't remember applying for this job or signing up to an agency). It's 8pm- midnight every night of the week bar Wednesday, working in the clothing department. I would have snap accepted but the only problem was that it's 7 miles away and there's no transport link at midnight, so I asked the agency woman to hold while I try to arrange transport. After persuading my mother to put me on her car insurance I rang back and arranged to come and register today at the branch. My last car was a nice little Seat Arosa automatic but I had to sell it a year ago when poker went south, now I will drive an old manual kia saloon but I can't complain as it beats a kick in the dick.

Working for £7/hour isn't amazing, but it's certainly a great deal better than £2.40/hour which is what I would have been on at the waste tip. All in all, I'd say it was good timing and a good result considering my grim situation. Onwards and upwards from here.
