Should I take this job?: I have until 4.30pm today to decide

[editor]

I'm too late to vote but no-one gets me to work after 5pm.

Well, unless I'm working from home, but that's different.

 

[Brainaddict]

You're going on the dole but you've been offered a job?
Tsk

No, I signed on 8 weeks ago and still haven't received a penny. I've only just got the job offer.

 

[Orang Utan]

Ah - I see - take the job, it doesn't look like you have any options, unless you're holding out for something else.

I think more like you I think - but look at that poll result - what's happened to these boards?

 

[trashpony]

I thought you hated it? Oh well - too late by now.

So? What did you decide?

Lucky bastard - I have to work 12 hour shifts AT THE WEEKEND

Turned it down. Everyone who voted 'yes' I'm afraid you gave the WRONG answer. Better luck next time!

Deeper into the overdraft I go...

Poor Brainy

((((Brainy)))) for having to live in the real world

Good choice

Indeed. The real world sucks - I've never understood why people are so keen to live in it.

Fuck it! - Deport this lazy bastard now.

that seems a bit odd. you're just prolonging the length of time it takes you to get to what you want to be able to do....still your choice.

Don't worry, I'm leavin' as soon as I can

 

[Brainaddict]

But in the meantime I will be a free man between the hours of 5pm and 9am on weekdays and EVERY weekend!

Time is better than money. At least as long as you still have enough money to live on. Is that really such a strange idea?

 

[Pieface]

no - just that you sound like you don't have any money at all.

 

[ChrisFilter]

I quite like the real world. Fuck, I even enjoy work. I'd be a bit lost without the structure it provides. Work saves me from SlothFilter.

 

[chegrimandi]

Don't worry, I'm leavin' as soon as I can

you're not.

If you'd taken this better paid job you would have been.

 

[Brainaddict]

no - just that you sound like you don't have any money at all.

I have enough to keep me in Tesco Value cheese though. And what more could anyone ask for?

 

[Pieface]

Oh - you're okay then

 

[Thora]

Good for you Brainaddict - don't let the man grind you down and that.

Have an inspirational picture and essay:

No one should ever work.

Work is the source of nearly all the misery in the world. Almost any evil you'd care to name comes from working or from living in a world designed for work. In order to stop suffering, we have to stop working.

Hurrah for the honest hardworking UK taxpayer keeping the rest of us in dole money!

 

[Orang Utan]

What money?

 

[Brainaddict]

What money?

Good bloody question! I think they centralised the system since I last claimed JSA, so now it takes twice as long

 

[Orang Utan]

I don't understand why being on the dole is so attractive to some people. Fine if it pays well, but it doesn't and it's almost a full time job doing the paper work. You might as well do paperwork in an office and get paid much more.

 

[spanglechick]

brainy clearly prefers jam today rather than jam + cake tomorrow.

that's ok. valuing instant gratification over greater long-term rewards is very human.

I didn't find it was that much paperwork tbh - just one (admittedly longish) form and a couple of visits to get my claim started. A bit of faffing around at the beginning and then no hassle for a year ime. Time was more important to me than money.
