So in true ‘government don’t let me down’ fashion they did.   I was half expecting that the dole would go wrong this week.  i’ve been paid nothing.  not the first week they said i would.   i have to do the chasing via various numbers to find out what the problem was which was a ‘failsafe’ so that it never oversent money.  while i totally respect and understand this i knew as soon as i told them on tuesday it would go wrong.   see the problem with government and big business is those little nuggets of potential fixes never get communicated back up the chain.  it’s all firefighting an out of date system.   so i’m outta of cash completely.  i’m having to borrow some money for electric and i think i have food for a few weeks or so in the freezer.

Puts a bit of a delay on all the things i mentioned yesterday, so i’m back to job hunting and sending my CV out to various places like an automated job spammer.   why in the 21st century do some places insist on having to send you a paper form to fill in over and over again.  surely now we have systems in place to be able to do this - if we fed that into the social media matrix as well i’d probably have a job by now.

I did get some assistance from the state this morning however.   I got my free prescription for my inhalers.  had a terrible night sleep again because of this chest infection that i picked up from ella having a cough.   i’m sorta surfing in a virtual world between living and staring at life go by behind a glass where nobody can hear me shouting.

I’m pretty much allowing all this to wash over me thou.   these things in life are sent to test us and make us accountable for our actions - i’d like to clear some debt of and give my daughter the life she deserves.   i’m sure it’s coming, just wish it would hurry up.    Oh, btw notice posterous now does custom themes (+ tumblr themes) and i like the feature that allows anybody you allow (you add their email) to post stuff to your blog.

Does tumblr allow you to do that? - that would be very useful to give out the email address for people to send in their gripes/feelings/outlooks on what it is like for them to be unemployed.   I’m sure there is a wealth of information of things that are happening to people that are not getting captured.   Some just stupid situations that could if they were fixed allow someone to work.

It’s not all doom and gloom thou, looks like i might be doing some social media work in the near future after a few emails and might be able to get rezpondr back on track.   I’m just having a blip period i guess.   When i do have some cash i do intend to go and geo-tag businesses for flickr in burton next week and start to design a mashup around that - like a visual directory - with audioboo comments and stuff.
