I have bolloxed up two jobs in three weeks, when i'm desperate to be back in work again.
The first one...not enough hours to get me off benefit but would have been a nice start. First ds got flu, then I got flu. Still went on my first day, stumbling around, shaking, could barely see. Next day dd came down with it, no childcare for a sick youngster. Bye bye job.
This week i'm supposed to go for a chat to do voluntary work. Ds throwing his guts up this morning, then I end up stuck at opticians for two 1/2 hours (I cancelled my eye test three times already but ffs, I needed it my specs are scratched and chipped and I can't bloody see through them). I tried to phone the work programme woman, straight to voicemail. I get back home finally, phone the work programme landline, no answer. I have to google the number for the work programme main office to get the number for the office my advisor works at with the hope that I can speak to a colleage of hers...no, another answering machine. Googled the charity itself, no answer on their landline, so as far as they know, I didn't turn up and didn't explain. Great.
I'm quite pissed off.
