Writing another email to the jobcentre. Those bastards keep coming up with excuse after excuse to not give me any money, and now they doubt I was able to work at all whilst on Jobseekers. I can't believe it, and also there's no certainty I'm entitled to the new benefit (ESA) I'm on. I'm so angry!

What's your next move? Who and where are your allies?   :arrr:

Erm, well I dunno. Probably seeking legal advice from the Citizens Advice Bureau, but then again who wins when suing the government? My father is probably my best allie (ally? allie?) because he works high up in management for a utilities company and so is good at telling people off and getting into legal stuff. But yeah, I'm considering pulling the disability discrimination card because it's probably true anyway. Later on today I've also received more crap from the Jobcentre too so to go back to the topic I'm writing another angry letter :P

Not a lot. I should probably be doing something now.

Any chance you can play out two organisations against each other? The government cannot defeat the government. So, to overcome that problem, they may take your problem serious and deal with it.
Don't know if that can be an option for you. I know a man working at the UWV here (the organisation about disability, unemployment, income, well-fare) and he said that was a way people could win from the government.

Try going direct to the MP who represents your district. You may fare better going that route. Fuck their bureaucracy.

Helping Emma reinstall windows blindly through msn, after she got some nasty virus from her sister.

Frustrating at best. I don't like helping people with computers.

I initially read this as "Helping Emma install window blinds," and thought the virus in question was a cold or flu.   :asthing:

Just finished cleaning up dinner dishes and measuring out monkeyboys meds for later. 1 more hour until I can sink into the quiet of my room.

Eating cold beans out of a can.  Couldn't think of anything to eat and it was handy.

Spam whoring for a bit.
Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

Hoping to hell I have four more quarters around here, so I can finish my laundry!  :zoinks:
