Entry two: Centrelink
Welcome back friends...and enemies, i dunno if any enemies read my blog or if my enemies know i have one, but WELCOME! To begin, the pidgeon story has come to a close. About 2 or 3 days after the pigeon made itself at home in the backyard, the evil jan'ator drew her blade of wind blowing and scared the shit out of the pidgeon, although i doubt it had any shit left to soil its feathers with as the damn thing had been crapping itself silly all over the outside furniture. Anyway, the pidgeon is gone, hopefully in a better place, like pidgeon heaven, or the big birdcage in the sky, or Tijuana.

So with my backyard pidgeonless, i thought i'd be bored for the rest of my life, but the government had other plans. The tafe course i was doing had come to an end...involuntarily (ok, i didnt pass, big deal) and there's been warnings on tv about not changing your details and the fine that may follow, so i went to my local centrelink office and changed my details...big mistake.
Next, centrelink told me i had to go on some 'job seeker' plan now that im not doing tafe anymore and im unemployed. At first it didnt seem so bad, then the explaining came. They want me to do so much crap! i have to attend this thing at the salvation army, enter 10 job applications a fortnight and meet with some job seeking guy and show him my progress. I suppose this is how centrelink gets the unemployment rate to go down, they annoy the unemployed to tears until they get a job.
