I got paid today... well, thoretically I got paid. In actuality my bank details haven't gone though yet so I have to collect it as cash from the cash office which, naturally didn't have anybody in.
So as of right now I still have nothing.
Gotta' go back some time after 5 and see if there's anyone around apparently. Yet another thing to add to the generalised suck of this day.
So, last week I worked 15 hours, earned 63 quid of which 13.86 is instantly scraped off as tax.
Jesus. Fucking. Christ. That's 22 bloody %
Leaving me with 49.14 which is... (wait for it...) a whole 6.94 MORE than I got on the dole.
Yes folks, 15 hours of work later and I earned almost 7 pounds more than I did when I did sweet fuck all.
Wow, not even a whole 7 quid. Aren't I the lucky one.
A lucky one who's suddenly painfully closer to realising that unless I get a better job really fucking soon I'm not going to be able to afford to go to Canada next year. There's no way in hell I can afford it like this. I'm not even earning 200 a month, and if I saved every single penny of that then maybe... MAYBE I could afford it, but that's just not feasable. It just doesn't work.
God, I'm so sick of this stupid job. Perfect end to a perfectly bollocky day.
