9 to 5

After spending a couple of weeks trawling around agencies pretending to be keen and doing typing and Excel tests and stuff I finally got a job.

I have to look after accounts on behalf of various businesses, and ring their debtors to enquire when they might feel like paying their bills. Had about five minutes training, and know nothing about accounts. Have a Windows 95 computer which runs pre-historic software which has no GUI and cannot be operated by mouse. Its one redeeming feature is that it occasionally causes amusement by displaying an error message which simply reads 'WHAT THE FUCK!'


Under these circumstances I don't feel obliged to do anything right. The money is OK, the people are nice enough, and there's good coffee for free. Hope to have an interview for something better next week.

    That sounds like the NHS database I worked on. Except I think our terminals were Win 98. It didn't have a good error message though.
