new game for you atttmp

Naw, I'll keep the first aid kit.

I'm gonna go to the council and see what my city can do for me.

[sirhugo]

You have been on the local council housing list for years. Even as a so called "priority" you have still been waiting years. You complain about your various problems to the receptionist but you get the same old answers. You are pretty sure they are reading from a script. Or maybe they're robots. You do find out that you are 8th on the housing list and that "it shouldn't be long now". Yeah right!!!

do you want to accept this and walk away?

will you kick up a fuss?

or will you ask if "there's anything you can do to move up the list"? (wink wink nudge nudge )

[andthistoomustpass]

Hmmmm

Accepting and walking away doesn't sound like a great idea. Been doing that for years to no good result.

Is there anything I can do? (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) is a bit of a worry. I'm certainly not going to part with any money so the only option that leaves is the hope the receptionist finds a recently recovered park-sleeping alkie irresistible. Not very likely, I think you will agree.

I'm going to kick up a relatively polite and absolutely non-threatening and non-violent fuss. Squeaky wheel gets the grease and all that.

[sirhugo]

you have a bed for a few nights now, and you've got your shiny new suit remember? Maybe she does fancy a bit?

You decide that you are tired of rolling over and taking it up the ass

you tell the receptionist in a non-threatening and non-violent but assertive manner that you are not leaving until they rehouse you. They then promptly tell you that if you do not leave they will have the police remove you. You dig your heels in and refuse to move. In ten minutes you hear the sirens coming.

SHIIIIIIIITTTTT!!!!

you make a sharp exit before the cops get there. but they will be looking out for you now. Add 1 CRIMINAL RECORD point. you bad bad boy

so what now?

more shopping?

get a job?

rent a room?

ask to stay with friends?

[andthistoomustpass]

That's what I get for being reasonable. Next time I'll unzip and take bids.

Get a job, ♫ sha na na-na, na na-na na-na ♪.

[sirhugo]

you may have to confirm what song that was or I may go mental

In this modern world there are many ways to go about finding a job. You could try the job centre, you could look in the job listings in the local papers. Or you could try looking online. Pick your poison

Job centre?

Paper?

Online?

[andthistoomustpass]

That song has been covered loads of times but I think this might be the original

My newly sober persona is all about embracing the future. Let's go online!

but avoiding the distractions of p*rnhub

[sirhugo]

due to the wondrous nature of call centres I am unable to listen to this little ditty at the moment. I will have a listen tonight

I see you and maisis relationship is becoming very special indeed

You decide that online is your best bet of finding a job these days. shame you don't have a convenient laptop for this. so you take the next best bet and go to the library. you have a range of websites at your disposal. where do you want to start?

indeed?

universal jobmatch?

reed?

or pornhub?

[andthistoomustpass]

Maisi is fab, I think we get on fine. Of course, she may not share that opinion...

Tempted to try for a job on p*rnhub, I'm sure there is a niche interest group for everyone on the internet, even one of Glasgow's finest stereotypes. I could make $$$ from the webcam trade, pay to see me dance baby!

Unfortunately, I suspect you'd have me click on a dodgy hentai link instead and my criminality stat would shoot up.

I was totally ignored by Reed once upon a time, didn't even ask about experience or qualifications just told me I wasn't suitable . I'll try Universal Jobmatch, maybe they can set me up as a lion tamer?

[sirhugo]

The pornhub option was a joke. Im very glad you didn't pick it because id have no idea where to go with it I suppose it might have been fun to take you into the seedy world of web chatting and getting you thrown in the knick

I highly doubt that the job centre website would get you a job as a lion tamer, but I admire your enthusiasm

Being the job centre, there website is utterly pish. you spend ages logging in and then another half hour trying to navigate there monstrosity of a website. eventually you give up in disgust having found nothing interesting. since your at the library your time is running out. You will only have time to look at one more site today

will you look at indeed?

or reed?

(im a poet and I don't know it )
