“Truth is not relative, it is absolute?”
Quote: Neil Kendick [Tuesday evening, 23rd March 2010]
[am having crap off the dole: a compliance interview. and the annoying thing.. I always comply with the rules!]
... I mean, either someone's lied about me working, again! Or they have it that I have access to monies I don't; or someone has reported me for working, when I don't. Whichever it is, it's bloody frustrating.
I'd waited literally years to see 'Daywatch. And finally, I got to see it, abeit I missed the first seven minutes.
Well, after 'Nightwatch, 'Daywatch' was as good as I'd wanted it to be!
to accomodate a few programmes, I had altered my security setting: ie Active X .. java 2
anyway's.. all way fine with all things, except [seemingly VR] but, the problem was as simpler as some ads VR uses, also use Active X, which I was already having problems with.
Manual removal worked at first; Adaware helped.
But, what fixed the problem was too pissingly simple.
I pressed for 'default setting.'
**Kicks can**
if tomorrow was my last, I'd want to know that I had made an effort. y'know?

Very true! Living without purpose or desire is not living at all...
I don't think it's gonna be so. *hugz*
devolution has a lot to be blamed for.
we used to be .. Great Britain.
now.
Ireland
Scotland
and England and why do Scotland have free services? beacause British taxapayers.. pay for it.
The scarlines still hurt.. but hey .. I finally got the physio booked for the knee!
I say how I am .. and no more, veilofsanity [duneshifter] who I used to speak to.. called me a whiner, after my Mum died. it hurt so bad .. from her, someone I'd listened to, I began to think she'd been right.. then I re-read my own writing; I don't whine.

I am yet to meet a person who does not have the occasional "whine". No ones situation is perfect. It is your journal and you are free to write whatever you wish in it.
If after such an event you were interacting in what I am supposing this person is referring to in a negative manner; it says nothing about you, but implicates that this person is heartless and all together not much of a human being.
No you don't, it's as simple as that.

Have you seen that vigilante man?
Have you seen that vigilante man?
Have you seen that vigilante man?
I been hearin' his name all over the land.
Well, what is a vigilante man?
Tell me, what is a vigilante man?
Has he got a gun and a club in his hand?
Is that is a vigilante man?
Rainy night down in the engine house,
Sleepin' just as still as a mouse,
Man come along an' he chased us out in the rain.
Was that a vigilante man?
Stormy days we passed the time away,
Sleepin' in some good warm place.
Man come along an' we give him a little race.
Was that a vigilante man?
Preacher Casey was just a workin' man,
And he said, "Unite all you working men."
Killed him in the river some strange man.
Was that a vigilante man?
Oh, why does a vigilante man,
Why does a vigilante man
Carry that sawed-off shot-gun in his hand?
Would he shoot his brother and sister down?
I rambled 'round from town to town,
I rambled 'round from town to town,
And they herded us around like a wild herd of cattle.
Was that the vigilante men?
Have you seen that vigilante man?
Have you seen that vigilante man?
I've heard his name all over this land.
I had call to block this fwllow ages back. Nasty little piece of work. An irritant of the first order in fact: goes around leaving a low mark.. and, a bible quotation & if you check out the loathesome skunks page, bland.. nothing.. nix.. nada.. bit like it's personality, I guess.
The interview I had the other day with Greenbank, a firm connected with The Future Jobs Fund left me with my head battered, as I sought answers for the questions it through up.
Toward the end of the interview I was being quizzed about my drinking habits: and my past drug habits, having already talked of my past employment history and experiences.
Such was the intensity of the interview, that as I closed the door on the interview, the first words out of my mouth were, “I need a whiskey!”
It’s a pity I had not remembered where I was, when I did so.
But, when it comes down to it, this was just the same as Ambition Health, or Pentra. I made effort in both of those and, after a year, nothing.
Yet, this one doesn’t even give me a year off the dole. As I learnt through the literature provided, the post is for six months. And then, there’s the sheer Hell of signing-on to look forward to, again.
It seems that the reality of ‘work’, with the Social Partnership mean that the people of the Social Partnership have ‘real’ jobs, shuffling ‘US’ from the dole, to training vacancies that provide an employer with ‘free’ labour, as their booklet promotes: then when that contract ends, they move onto the next scheme?
And, while you’re doing one of these course’s, you’re generally too tired, or apathetic by that point, to seek real work. I know that one.
Furthermore, in my time working I have done all these people asked of, yet what role would I have if I get a place with ‘THEM’, but Trainee Support Worker.
Heck, rather than do yet another course that leads to more nothing, I’d rather clean the streets. In fact, I asked about that. They’re not taking on at present.
I’m loath to admit this, but the answer to finding me employment is not to be found in yet another course, but it’s in finding the right assistance to finding a real job.
And, it would seem that is something I cannot, or will not get from The Social Partnership. Yet, knowing that, I am left with more questions than answers.
