Well, with impending fatherdom getting ever closer I finally bit the bullet and joined a temping agency. I was getting absolutely nowhere applying for things myself and this lot have found me a job inside two days. True, it's a crap job (counting traffic) but it means regular income.
So far we had to endure almost 11 hours training. To press one from six buttons when a vehicle passes and every 15 minutes write down how many of each type you've recorded. Shows the state of the employment pool if that's what they think is needed. In fairness much of the time was spent sitting doing nothing and it included driving/walking to a couple of locations and 'having a go' so the second stint was better. Now I have a nice, yellow high-vis jacket. Does this mean I'm a worker now?
