What a start to the week this week. I left the Work Placement on Monday early to get back into Killie to sign on. I was told last time I signed that was what I was to do. At that time my advisor was on holiday so it was some other member of staff that was covering for her. Of course that didn't really help me much as when I arrived at the jobcentre to sign she was surprised and informed me that she had expected me in the morning as usual. She also told me she was about to sign me off the brew which would have caused me to get sanctioned. Apparently she hadn't been informed that I would be signing late as I had been told, though she did know I was on the Work Placement. In the end I was allowed to sign on though she had to get someone else to let me as she had an interview with somebody else. The other member of staff seemed less than pleased about it but I didn't get sanctioned. That would have been a disaster as that would mean living on fresh air. And all because of a mix-up I had nothing to do with. I hope that next time I sign on she remembers I will be late in.
I also was told she would need to speak to me over the job I missed out on last week. You know the one where I missed the call doe to being on the Work Placement after I told her of that. I got the impression this could also be a problem for me even though I phoned the company back as soon as I could. I'm hoping that they aren't going to try and use that to try and hammer me after it was they that put me into the slave programme which is why I missed the initial call from the company. It was also the reason I couldn't phone them back before the next day. I will know more in time but for now I must wait to see where it goes.
