So. Can’t currently work. No money coming in. No money in wallet. Time to apply for benefits, you might think? Well, no. Apparently, the Job Centre won’t even let me finish the paperwork to let the decision makers make a decision. This despite being happy to have me on benefits six months ago. A complete waste of £3.
The two things that annoy me is that I gave all this information on the online form and the phone interview and at no point did anyone tell me it was going to be a complete waste of bus fare.
And the second was people looking me in the eye and telling me that they knew full well how bad my situation was, and that they weren’t going to do anything about it, or even suggest somewhere to go for help.
Hell Mike, that sucks big time. Drop me a line if there’s anything I can do to help.
Hang in there. It must get sorted out eventually. We’re all ready to lend a hand, as we want to make sure we get a credit for helping you out in the days before your genius was discovered and you became a millionaire!
However, it’s also made me wonder where I’ve put my original passport. Have my current one, but not the one with the embarrassing photo and those important stamps….
Hi Mike,
You never let any of this out when I’ve texted you. Mind you, probably hard to fit it into a text.
If I can do anything to help let me know, or if you just fancy coming over some evening give me a bell.
