squawk:
my roommate has the worst conversations ever oh god that is what happens when you have zero interests in anything. she spent over five minutes talking about eggs (her recent consumption habits of, and questioning the usage of sour cream on) on the phone with her boyfriend. which is all she ever does. talk on the phone with her boyfriend, that is, not talk about eggs. but dear lord. why why why
The Seldom Killer:
In a fairly grudging fashion I'm quite impressed with the DWP. Years ago you used to have to go somewhere to have your soul destroyed and be wilfully broken on the mechanisms of bureaucracy in order to register as unemployed. These days you get to do it in the comfort of your own home, which now feels a little tainted and dirty. Of course they haven't just resorted to simple expedience for kicking someone when they're down, that would be too easy. Once you've routinely been made to feel worthless, you then have to go somewhere to do it all over again. It's rather thorough and ingenious.
I'm sure that there's someone in Blackpool whose job is to find new ways to make the benefits system ever more gut-wrenchingly dismal. When I find out who it is, I'm taking it from them.

Just to put the cap on a week of shit, this afternoon work rang me up and told me that as of next financial year they were going to cut me back to four days a week. Considering I'm struggling weekly to keep my head above water as it is and seeing as how I reeeeeaaaaaaly don't want to get a housemate it looks like I'm going to have to get a second job for one or two days a week from July.
Jace:
I think I'm out of a job after today. Got a letter from my boss saying security has been cut back.
Jace:
Yeah, come 5pm I'm jobless.
