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)
