job prob

are you allowed to slag off your new employer before you've started the job? oh well here goes...

over 2 months ago I went for interview for a new job with a local council, to run a youth centre that has been shut for over a year due to lack of staffing. i got the job (yay!) and was told that i would start early to mid august, dependant on references and crb check etc. now, 2 months later they have just (literally the last few days) sent out for references,and brought me in to fill in my crb form. for f*ck's sake, how utterly ridiculous can you get, especially as the week after i got the job i drove half way to london to hand in my stuff for the check and was told i would have to get someone else to see it, what's more when i took the stuff in last week, the person who was meant to check it wasn't there and i had to get it checked by someone who didn't know how to do the form and was going to have to get someone else to do it, at the other end of the county. £100 says that i'll wait the 6-8 weeks that a crb check takes and then discover that the form never even got sent off. man it drives you crazy - especially as the particular local council (in fact most councils as far as i know) are desperate for youth workers... aaaaaaaaargh!

all better now.

thanks for listening.
