Frowning

"Why did you leave your last employment?" the man at the jobcentre asked.
"I didn't leave," I said, "they left me."
He frowned.
I handed him the note. He looked at it and frowned some more.
"I'll put you down as 'contract ended'" he said, "What type of work were you doing there?"
"I don't know," I said.
He did some more frowning. "What do you mean, you don't know?"
"Well, when they gave me the job, they forgot to tell me what I was supposed to be doing and when I started I didn't know who to ask and nobody said anything so I just kept going there."
"I see, I see," he said, frowning terribly, "but what did you actually do there?"
"Looked out of the window," I said.
"...I'll put you down as admin support," he said.
