Are you aware you have to be seeking employment?

Well I called to make my very first ever benefit claim today and the dude read me the different rules etc that go with it and he said "and you realise you have to be actually seeking employment?" Well forgive me for maybe thinking that the majority of the human race understand plain English but is that not why it's called Job Seekers Allowance? Not to be too critical of people but of course I'm seeking work, does my previous employment and education history give any indication that I am the type of person who wants to sit on their arse for months on end while trying to survive off the pittance that the government offer you? ah well at least I can make use of the free dental and eye care that you get but hopefully unemployment wont last long, dont really fancy having to go and "sign on" every fortnight.

On a better not had a good day back at my old school. Went to pick up some things that I left at the end of term and ended up staying for ages and helping Lynn do stuff in her class but it was a good afternoon. Enjoyed having lunch with her and Keith, gonna really miss that staffroom at lunchtimes but there is a job coming up there in October hopefully so fingers crossed for that....would love to go back there.

Had another jam with Stu and I pose the question "how long does it take two quite intelligent people to work out how to operate a piece of recording equipment?" well it seems the answer is about an hour! Fuck's sake how bad is that hahaha we sort of worked it out in the end and had some time left to record voice and guitar and sounds not too bad but will hopefully manage to remember the working from this week to next and get a bit more done but then again I am a dole bum now so many I will slowly lose brain cells from watching too much Jeremy Kyle and other such day time TV!!
