so that I could get on with some writing. That isn’t going to happen as I am very very angry. Why, I hear you say? Well I don’t hear you say that, as if I did  I would have some other more important issues. For the sake of this narrative though let’s assume that you did, and I heard you. Okay? Okay.

To precis the beginning bit of the story for people who have only just started following the world according to trev, I work in Rotherham, and I live some considerable distance away from there and so I have been requesting since before I started that I be put on the transfer list. All good so far. Well my boss at my test centre informed when I started that there was no point putting  my name on the transfer list straight away as I would not get one while I was in probation (which lasts 7 months), so being the good boy that I am, I waited.

Until, I got a text from one of my colleagues who started the same time as me and he told me that he was transferring test centres, which meant two things:

One, as he was based in a test centre nearer my home, there would be a space there (In fact there were several.)

Two, my boss had lied, or more charitably perhaps, misinformed me about the chances of transfer under probation as my colleague was transferring, and he was on the same course as me…

About two months ago I got asked (after I had kicked up a bit of a stink about the above) if I would like to transfer to the test centre in question, I said yes, and was told that it would probably be Sep/Oct which I was more than happy with.

Nothing more happened, but I thought little of it except trying to get a definite date, as like anyone I have to make plans.

This morning I mentioned it in the office as one of my co workers asked about it, my boss was not in and another examiner from another team was in, and he obviously overheard us chatting, and I get a feeling knew the answer and he had a look at the system that shows where we are working and so on. Which we do not have access to. What did it show?

It showed that I start at the new test centre the week after next! Yes you read that right, next week is my last week where I am working. Now this is where it starts to get really weird though, as I obviously called our section that deals with where examiners are based and she told me that it has been arranged for weeks, and that my boss definitely knew about it as she has talked to him about it over a month ago…

Now again, some of you may be thinking that he made a mistake, forgot etc. he did not, he has form for this sort of thing, he has done something like this to almost everyone in the office, stuff that I could not possibly type on here. The only conclusions I can come to are that he is either completely forgetting things or he is doing it on purpose.

The good news though is that I am moving test centres soon, so that will be big savings on fuel for me!
