One of my favourite parts of Boomtown was the Job Centre in the Old Town.

Substantially enlarged since last year, the new Job Centre was fully kitted out with advisers, interview booths, waiting areas, white boards, photocopying machines, watercooler and more.

The attention to detail was fantastic and the chaos inside the centre was a joy to behold.

“Boomtown Jobcentre was successfully unveiled to Old Town last year, with our dedicated team of mindless drones processing many feckless layabouts and moulding them into productive citizens.”
