I have found myself in a very odd situation, as it stands at the moment I cannot afford my job. Despite being told by both the Jobcentre and Housing benefit that my part-time job would not effect either claim, it did.
Not only that but work messing up has complicated things:
1. Due to being ridiculously unorganised at Easter I ended up working well over my contracted 10 hours
2. They forgot to pay me for the first day I worked - so they paid the missing hours 2 weeks later
3. When paying me the hours I was owed they didn't mark it as back pay on my payslip
So my Housing benefit had to be reassessed this meant I needed to send them my payslips, and they work out how much I earn a week by working out the average. Unfortunately the above reasons the average was pushed up way above what I actually earn a week.
This results in a drastic decrease in the amount of housing benefit that I get meaning the money I have left to live on is less than half of what the government says you need.
So as the title of this post says - I can't afford my job and all attempts to find another part time job to go along with this one are failing.
Welcome to my blog, it documents my search for 'adult' life, I may have already achieved this but I don't feel very 'adult'. Here you'll find the proper introduction.

Erm who do I work for?
Again apologies for the lack of posts.
As my last post said I have a part-time job. I have a small and a little embarrassing problem - I don't know who I work for.
The woman who hired me (the head of the department) has seemingly disappeared I saw her on my first day and then she vanished. this resulted in the first month of working there being absolute chaos. Resulting in the very awkward situation of trying to clean a caravan around the guests that have already unpacked.
But finally after working there for two months I now know who I work for - Yay. Now I can pretend I knew all along.
