Sometime ...one just wants to VENT ones spleen and say how fucked life is and how much it sucks! [and then y' have to edit your own shit typing, LOL!]
From the start... I was lying awake, tossing and turning, arranging sheets and blankets... thinking “Either get up, go for a piss or go back to sleep; dickhead!” ... It's not that hard.
Liver! I wanted Liver... with Bacon and a Beef Gravy!
Cravings are NOT to be discounted... Y' don't crave something y' don't need. The body doesn't crave something it doesn't know...
I'm craving Liver... I know Liver. I've had it before... My body knows it has Iron and Protein and all the good kit...
I've never craved Raspberry Ice-cream as I've never had it... Ergo... Trust a craving!
Not chocolate or tobacco or booze!!! They are hidden by sugar or habit....!!

And... after a shower, a walk, a wait [doing a Kindle Book] and a bus-ride... “Thank-you” Bus-driver... a short wander to the Swooper-Markt...
NO FUCKING Liver! FFS! ...LOL! That was the whole purpose of my trip...
Ha!
Steak and Kidney, of some form, tonight.... There must be some form of sustenance in kidney I crave... probably Iron, I suspect...
We'll see... I'll see, probably.

I've spent my day [Sund'y] on a bus, waiting for a bus, at the Super-Market... waiting for another bus while watching that odd-bloke [it's a bus-stop!] ... and home again to go on-line gobbing-off to friendly folk... some of whom don't deserve it...

Yes... Issues to sort!

Life continues as I sort it... Thank you, everyone that has concerns... I'm OK, just spouting! Venting my spleen, as the phrase happens... 

Pete, gobbing-off; but OK. Rest! Standdown, please. 

Friends are always close but never close enough... Kameraden more so... Siblings are more difficult than Mates... 
It's all good... I'm going nowhere. You read... you know.. I'm a bit fucked up but still OK... 
And... LOL! I've not yet figured what I'll eat... (I have cabbage and spud to go with meat/protein, some fruz peas etc...)

I feel a bit more than a bit pox... but generally OK... somehow, oddly... Maybe, I've spoken/written how krap I feel is cathartic (OMGoodness! A WeBlog?? WTF Saying what I feel.... ) 
Weird... I'm not into expressing my feelings, but I imagine no-one here will notice... [check my stats! It's quiet!] 

Thanks for reading and saying fuck-all... I just want to gob-off and spout shit... No comments or replies are required. 

Pete, Out.

 

 Could you be the one?

I'm a "bit more than drunk" maybe even 'pissed' and had a lot to drink, if this ever gets to a yankee audience... Yank = 'Murica not Nth v Sth, get over it! 

Fucking yanks, high and almighty... wishing damnation on others! ...That's mighty neighbourly of you "Brother".... 

How's that working for you?

September October is now November... I must make a point of doing this more often...

October was Janets b/day, Beersheba Day [a Regimental Birthday] a Memorial Service for two young IETS (Diggers doing Initial Employment Training)

...and krap after krap of hour-long phone calls to Centrelink... over a 2-3 y.o. Dole-Issue. End result? I'm broke and no dole-money for another fortnight or so...

They fucked-up my payments, I'll pay it, that's fair... But NOT all in one-hit... NOT after YEARS!!! Come on!

On-The-Dole... never good, but not unusual. 

The young fellow that received one of my calls, let's call him Aaron, was very helpful, new at his job and had to look-up "IMP" (Income Maintenance Period) as his training didn't cover it... suggested it was a 'misalignment of pay versus reporting periods' and 'give it a week and it should fix itself'... Yeah! Right! Thanks... 

The next was also very helpful, personable and empathetic! She, let's call her Mary, reckoned "that's not right!" and saw how stopping payment "isn't a sensible approach" or words to that affect. I saw the blind judgement of Robo-Debt in affect, again! Mary put in place an inquiry... "which won't fix the problem, immediately" ...two or three weeks, [probably].

Sincerely, thanks Mary!

Today, after reporting my income four days ago, a payment didn't happen, again... 
(Ever since the introduction of "Workforce Australia" reporting and response has turned to shit! Each time, I need to get-on-the-phone, do an hour+ on hold, and sort stuff...)
Today... after a record-breaking 2:01:16 On-Hold, I was told "that's all fixed"... 
"Apparently! So far, so good..." I retorted, kindly and asked why and how this problem arose... 
There was lots of Umms and Arrghs, obfuscation and dodging-blame responses...
I let the poor worker-bee drones know "It's NOT your fault, it's the system! I'm NOT blaming you..." ...but something stinks!

So... after checking my bank account, five hours after "immediate transfer" ...no money has been placed in my account, the matter is unresolved, I'm broke, looking down the barrel of homelessness... and ... a 50+yo bloke without a license doesn't look good to any prospective employer... 

Welcome to ...next?!
