More from the Den of Idiocy

For three hours yesterday myself and bunch of other hopeless jobseekers were locked into the Den of Idiocy for "On-Site Jobsearch".

The Den of Idiocy quite nicely provides computers and a couple of newspapers from two weeks ago. But let's get back to the computers. Yes, you can look online at the government jobsearch website. Any other jobsearch site will be blocked by the IT department as a possible security risk. You can specifically ask to see a site by writing the URL down on a piece of paper, taking it over to CaneToad Lady who masquerades as an employment consultant but really just seems to sit in a corner and ribbit occasionally, and she will email the IT Department who might get around to giving your specific computer access to that site sometime today.

In the meantime you are supposed to catalog all the Jobsearch contacts you have made in the session. CaneToad Lady doesn't count.

Funnily enough, we do have access to this particular employment company's website. They have had a vacancy for an employment consultant advertised for this particular office since last September. Go figure.

So what are you waiting for?
Apply for the job!

And I dare you to lick the cane toad lady (not like that; like you'd lick a cane toad).

Mike and Kat - They are evil, ugly things and should be eradicated.

Dive - Yes, hallucinogenic, but they can kill you. No fucking way am I going near her.
