"Hey Slaphead; Got a light?"
Once there I parked my bike, walked to the paper shop, bought my copy of MCN and stood outside smoking like a protesting Buddhist to kill the spare hour I had due to being there way too early. (I didn't know how long it would take me to cycle five miles. I'm overweight, unfit, have asthma and smoke very heavily.)
After a cigarette intake that would make the most hardened laboratory Beagle sit up and say "Holy shit man, are you sponsored by Phillip Morris?" I shuffled into the new workplace and was greeted by the friend who had suggested me to the owner.
My friend explained the gig and I set about getting ready for the day ahead. During conversation my friend asked if I'd signed off the dole and I replied that I had. "You do know that this is only a part time job. You're only needed for three days a week." My friend revealed.
So now I'm faced with having to go back to the dole to sign back on and will have to tell the employer that I'm unable to work due to the lack of hours.
Bugger.

Run that by me again? Excuse my ignorance but - you got a 3 day a week job, so you can't get the dole... but if you go back on the dole you can't keep the job. Does that mean you will earn more being on the dole and unemployed than you will working 3 days a week?
Salagatle!
I think your friend should have told you about the job being part-time. That is not cool five dimes. Seriously. I'm sorry that just sucks.
It's been a while since I've sugned on but will the Dole office let you sign back on again?
I presume you've signed off started a job jacked and signed back on again won't they state you've made yourself unemployed and knock you back for a giro?
Wreckless,
I can keep the job but won't earn enough to pay my rent etc... Therefor I need to sign back on and lose the job.
Cupcake,
The job was supposed to be full time but the new chef decided that he doesn't need someone full time. It's no fault of my friends.
G Dawg,
You can get a rapid reclaim if the job description is different to that which you expected.
