"Finally applied for a job"

At the DSS building near where I live (second biggest government building in the world - after the Pentagon)

It's as a "data entry clerk" which means they feed you numbers and you type. I've done similar stuff for my work experience, at the same building, and although it was boring as HELL, it was easy

They might stick me in another building though, one which would take me ages to get to, so my mum (who works for the DSS) is gonna see if she can get me at the Longbenton site, where my friends are and so I can get there on the way home from college easily

Yeah, it's not what you know, it's WHO you know

Shift should be 5pm till 8 or 8:30 I think (it's the twilight shift) that way I can stop off on my way home from college (darn, on some days I'll be at college from 9am, then after that it's straight to work, so I won't get home till after 9! 12 bloomin' hours of school/work)

Got an interview on Wednesday, gotta provide references, my National Insurance number, and passport photos (for my ID to get me in the place I guess) and prove that I can type. I used to touch type (though I just tried now, and I was really slow at it) and thanks to that I know exactly where every key on the keyboard is, and can type really quickly, but that's just letters, I'm crap with the pad to the right of the keyboard, where the numbers are, which is what they expect you to use (I've always used the numbers above the letters)

So, I'm practicing using them (typing out all the numbers on my mobile phone one after the other) so I can go in and type like a speeding bullet lodged up the rectum of a bat out of hell. Or something

Finally, I'll have some money, and I can FINALLY get a next gen console (probably a PS2 for it's built in DVD capabilities)

Ah ha! That contains all 26 letters. On a similar note anyone know a word that contains all 5 vowels?

Well actually it doesnt contain the letters Z, A and L.

Anyway it took me 10 seconds to type that, do i get a job?

How does that sentence pay £300 a year. If you say it, you get money. Let's try saying it.

It has every letter in the alphabet, they use it in English lessons quite a bit (in the lower years)

Pay's about £300 a month or something. That's more money than I've ever had in my life

I need a job, but im too lazy.

I think that it was probably one of those sentences that contain every letter in the world! AHAHAAHH!

Gah I worked as one of them Data Entry people, it's hella boring work.

I also had to do a test to let them see my superior typing skills, I had to write out some dumb sentance hundreds of times in a row, about a dog jumping or something, gay gay gay.

Erm, hope you get it :)

Although I signed it three years ago when I did my work experience there, I bet I have to sign the acts of secrecy thingy (saying that I won't leak any info etc)

Though that didn't stop me telling my mates stuff last time :)

(nothing important, in case any government officials are reading this, heh)

finally, i have a mole in a government agency. you have done well no.8
