Time stands still at jobcentre.

[jinjo5]

Over the last few years ive noticed that there arent any clocks on the walls at my local jobcentre.So i decided to ask one of the employees why this was so.She said......"the reason there arent any is because they didnt want us,the "customers" to know what time it was while we are in the building".I wonder what the reasoning is behind that little gem? Also she said that them(the employees) werent allowed to have rubbish bins by thier desks......."because they were using them to put rubbish in"!.classic.

hahaha TIME STANDS STILL AT THE JOB CENTRE...That's a classic that....aint it the truth.....
Next time they ask you "have you done any work in the last fortnight?".....you should answer back :- "I am sorry, i have no conception of time whatsoever, just like you robots in here...thank you...where do i sign...bye"

To be fair,i think the lady i confronted with my questions seemed suitably embarrassed and at the end said to me...."never get a job in the civil service".....she knew!!

just pretend to have tourette syndrome or talk aggressively to your invisible friend, and they'll make sure you're signed and out pretty quickly.
