Hi again,
Personal Advisor Sarah, (at the Jobcentre), didn’t want to give me the letter, for the meeting, on Thursday, when the apointment was set up.
Becaus she ‘didn’t want to confuse the issue’, like she said, (in of the many meetings, last week).
So Sarah forgot about the letter.
And I got tired of getting a letter in the afternoon, on Wednesday, (from NCS).
And got the time wrong.
Sarah has also earlier said that she was going to give me her e-mail-address, but has then forgotten about that again, in the same meeting.
(So I have never gotten her e-mail-address.
Or her last-name).
So Personal Advisor Sarah is perhaps a bit stressed, I think.
And I think she set me up on twice as many meetings, as the other people, on this new regime, like the Jobcentre calls it.
And if it would result in new problems with the Council and my Housing Benefit and Council Tax-allowance.
If I started on the New Enterprise Allowance-programme, with my web-shop.
My web-shop isn’t a new business eighter, so I’m not sure if that programme is meant for businesses that has been going, (in small scale, but anyway), for a couple of years.
And Louse told me to change the way I did my job-search.
(She wanted me to log my activities, on the Universal Jobmatch.
Which is something new, that has started, after I became unemployed, in 2008.
And the letter I got on Wednesday night, didn’t make sense to me.
2. Why did they write that a group-session was a ‘face to face’-meeting, etc?
(Like I’ve explained about, in the first meeting).
Just as an update.

Hi,
yesterday I went out at 5 PM, and I went to the post-office and Asda.
And I got home a couple of hours later.
And then I found your letter, that someone had put through my door.
But the post-man is usually her earlier.
Something must have been wrong, since I got the letter, after 5 PM, yesterday, (I think).
Because it didn’t make sense, I think.
So I got a bit worn-out by it.
(Or puzzled/dozed).
So I got the time wrong, for todays meeting.
Like I wrote in yesterdays e-mail:
‘I haven’t gotten a letter from you, regarding the meeting, tomorrow.‘.
I usually put the meeting-letter, in my wallet, the night before the meeting, and set my alarm-clock.
But I didn’t have a letter, yesterday evening.
So I got the time wrong.
So I put my alarm-clock on 11 AM, since I thought the meeting was at 12.45 PM.
Then I could leave my address at 12 noon, and be at the Jobcentre in Aintree, at around 12.40 PM.
But when I got there, I only got to have my second meeting.
Carla told me I was late for the NCS-meeting.
I wonder if it’s bit much with two meetings a day, that you sometimes put me on now.
Because it gets like meetings all the time now, I think.
So I got one meeting-time wrong now.
And also you don’t give me letters, for all meetings.
And sometimes the letters doesn’t explain what to do, in the meetings.
So it just gets a mess, I think.
But I was sleeping at 10 AM, so she woke me up, so I was a bit dozed.
So I’m not sure if Sarah said that the meeting was at 11.45 or 12.45.
But I’m going to discuss what happened with Sarah in the next appoinment I have with her, at 17/7.
Sorry about the problems with this.
I hope I don’t get a sanction, because I think this wasn’t only my fault.
The Jobcentre and the NCS have made all these mentioned meetings to a mess, I think.
Regards,
Erik Ribsskog

Hi,
But that was a group-session.
But on 4/7 I was sent by Personal Advisor Sarah to go to the job fair in St. George’s Hall.
And I was just told to look at the stands there, by her.
It was just a coincident that I went to your CV job-shop-meeting at 1.30 PM, on 4/7, in St. George’s Hall, and spoke with Sue there.
You told me the face to face-meeting would be tomorrow, (11/7), 11.45 with Pamela.
I also send a copy e-mail to the Jobcentre, (so that they can send it to Personal Advisor Sarah).
I haven’t gotten a letter from you, regarding the meeting, tomorrow.
But when I went into the hall, then they just took the letter, and told me to go in there.
This is a very big hall.
I was not informed that I was supposed to go to a meeting there.
I just accedentely heard on the speakers, that NCS had a CV work-shop there, at 1.30 PM.
(Because I was there a bit early).
And then I spoke with Sue there about my CV.
Poor information about this meeting, I think.
Jobseekers risk losing their allowance and with information like this, it’s a scandal I think.
It isn’t strange that Jobseekers lose their allowance when they get poor information, like this.
I was just told to go there, to have a look, and see if I found something interesting, by Sarah.
And I told you in the group-session, that it was a lot of manditory stuff, the last time I was there.
And I wondered why it wasn’t this time.
You have to write on the letter, that it’s a CV work-shop, and not just a job fair.
Or else people don’t understand.
Was this to ‘pull my leg’, I’m wondering here.
