Centrelink...is gay...

Mmm, i hate using that term in a negative way, and I'm trying to stop, but it best describes how I feel about them at the moment...

I do have to be thankful in a way, I am on Newstart, so I do receive payment from them, that I couldn't survive without. But the whole jumping through hoops stuff (come on, everyone who receives payment from them knows, what I'm talking about), can't be any more annoying...

First of all, they sent me out to SUNBURY for a group interview with a recruitment agency. Granted, I am partly to blame for that. See the lady on the phone told me the nearest place was Newmarket. That place was booked, so she told me the next closest was Sunbury. Now, naive little old me had no idea where the hell that was. But oh trust me, I know now. For those that don't know, it's basically whoop-whoop. Pretty much in the country. How she figured that to be the SECOND closest place to my house, I've no idea.

What's worse, I was walking in my neighbourhood they other day (Brunswick), and I walk past a affliate recruitment agency. I mean "What the fuck?!"

Now, to get my payment approved, I had to come into a Centrelink office for an interview. The trick with that was, that I had to come on the day, and book in for an interview later the same day. Which meant that if I wanted an interview, I had to get there at exactly when it opened. 8am. Yes, I know it's not THAT early. But if you know me, trust me, it's early.

So I get there and there's already about 20 people lined up outside the office. I'm like, "MotherFucker!" lol. Excuse my language. The doors open and it's like a freakin' stampede. It's like "Fuck the line, first come first serve". lol. Okay, I exaggerate, but it adds dramatic effect, no?

I managed to finally get to the counter at about 8.20. I then was booked into an interview...at 2.45pm! "For fuck's sake" ...is all that went through my mind at that point. I had four freakin' hours to kill now, AND it made me cancel a rendezvous with a dear friend (sorry again, Suzi =S).

Ah well, it's a bit of bitching that had to be done. Now I pocket $400 a fortnight, as long as I "look for work". Man...I really need to get a job...lol. =P

I.

Wahahha, I think your "centerlink story" is better than your Happy Feet review. I simply could not stop laughing. I made my brother read it too as he came into my room seeing me laughing crazily! I mean...who would go to Sunbury? Even ME, who knows NOTHING about the direction knows that Sunbury is an hour away from Melbourne!!!

And clearly, I'm worse then you when it comes to locations. lol.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I started to get real income.
It's all about how to choose a proper companion who uses your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, and shares the income with me.

You can ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
