JHP The Clusterfuck

So, I'v been with JHP for.... God know how long and I was meant to leave at least a month ago, but with all the staffing problems they had, it turned into a clusterfucking piss take.

Last week, I went to quit the course but myself and the tutor made a deal - Get the Business Admin qualification within 2 weeks, today, that didnt exactly go to plan.

For some reason, we had another tutor, mixed with another group and done something we had done 3 times while there, with 3 different people, luckily, the manager of the centre was observing the tutor we had, so I asked to have a word with her, about quitting again, I was pissed.

The manager managed to talk me out of quitting again, along with another guy in the same group as me, gonna sort it so that were doing what we are there to do, and if we arnt, to phone us not to come in . If that works or not, is another matter, but if the same thing happens, I'm officially quitting, they have had 2 chances all ready, there not getting a 3rd.

This post might no make much sense when reading it, but then again, nether does what's been happening lol

Game Pickup 18/10/11

This is just a tiny show off post:
I just picked up Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, complete for £38 =)
Also picked up Gran Turismo 3 to replace a lost copy for £2

£40 for both of them, traded in 4 xbox360 games that I have only played once and they forgot about as well as £5 cash - 100% worth it in my opinion, because I basically got 4 games for 4 games =P and one of them is probably one of the rarest Playstation 2 games out there.

I'm a happy Beaver =P

Update [20 Minutes Later] - I just went to play MGS3 Disk 2, the one with the Original Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 for MSX on it. The disk is cracked in half at one side, the guy checked the disks and didn't say anything and its not something you can really see. Will have to take it back shortly. =(

Update [3:45pm] - Just got back from returning Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, since it was a trade in, they gave store credit, £38 worth, so I replaced MGS3:S with:
Final Fantasy XII - Playstation 2, £5
Timesplitters - Playstation 2, 80p
Project Eden - Playstation 2, 80p
Metroid Prime - Game Cube, £5
Metroid Prime 2 Echoes - Game Cune, £8

Still have £18.40 credit left, will probably spend that soon as it expires on the 25th of October 3011, and no, that isn't a typo lol

Young Unemployed

Take your mind back, back to 2003/2004 and the time when the Government gave more help to those over 25 get back into work than it did 18-24 year old. Now bring your mind back to 2011, where the government is giving more help to the 18-24 year olds get back to work than the over 25s....

This pisses me off - When I younger than 24, I got no help from the Job Centre to get into work, no matter how hard I tried, I got nothing, then as soon as I hit 25, its announced that there going to be helping the 18-24 years old more.

Why is it that I'm always on the edge of these schemes, so I'm getting the raw end of the deal. If the government gave equal attention to everyone, and not just one age group, this country would be a lot better off than it is now. Not that it helps, not many jobs in my neck of the woods, especially now with councils having to make mega cuts, which means less public service jobs, something the North East has the most people employed in.

I'm not going to get into a Labour vs ConDem (Conservatives and Liberal Democrats) debate here. Lets just say, if you were born in 1984 (like me) or the beginning of 1985, regardless who is in charge, you have always gotten the short end of the deal, both in Education and Employment - Or at least that's how its been for me in my 26 years on this earth.

Jury Duty

They say there are 2 certainties in life, Death and Taxes. They really need to change that - Death, Taxes and Jury Duty.

It really suck, I've been selected, not that much notice either, just over a month for a 28th November start and I know next to fuck all. I mean, I know 3 people who have done it, one of them had it deferred because he was serving in the Armed Forces and close to being deployed and the other 2 have told me things, but it still doesn't help. Thing is, everyone is acting like its one of the best things to happen, I just don't see it.

Anyway, the form is filled in and ready to send tomorrow. I might as well get the bloody thing over and done with, could get something juicy or I could be sat around reading, playing 3DS or playing cards.

I guess its something to blog about, not during, I have twitter for that, but something fun to put in here.

Ah well.
