Started a job today, turned up at 10am as requested and got told that they were still waiting for delivery of the stuff needed for the work. Was asked to fill in a registration form and given an introductionary talk, then at 10:30 I was told to go and get a coffee somewhere and come back at 12:00. When I got back the delivery still hadn't arrived so I was sent home until tomorrow, but I'm getting paid for the two hours I spent doing nothing.

It's only temporary anyway. I thought I'd grab some easy money while I look for the right job, didn't expect it to be that easy.

I gather from this zinger that minimum wage in the UK is 5.35 pounds. Man, the kids are getting screwed in Canada, I tells ya!

Only if you're over 21 it's £5.35

If you're younger than that you still have to pimp your ass on the streets doing tricks for loose change.
