I'm doing **** all and getting paid for it.

 

Ditto.

 

Bitch you finished uni like a week ago, you're allowed to be lazy for a little while.

 

Hell, I'd still be fast asleep if I were him.

 

As I'm on the dole now, does that mean I'm technically being paid to do **** all?

 

And then get bollocked by some middle aged patronising woman every week for not looking for a job hard enough.

 

The clue is in the name: Jobseekers Allowance.

 

Lets just hope that nice Mr Osborne, Mr Cameron, and Mr Clegg are not avid 606 users or you might your money stopped! ;-)

 

Tell you what... the amount of forms there are to fill out, it's amazing that people are able to cheat the system.

 

You have to fill out forms? Ugh, **** it, I'll just stay poor.

 

Oooh, maybe you guys will experience the thrill of zero-hour contracts!

 

I'm doing zero hours

 

Then they can have 2 jobs at once.

 

I get paid for chilling in my office.

 

And still have no money!

 

Bloody hell - a guy I know, an air steward, managed to blag tickets for a flight to Sao Paolo last week to see the England game. Went to sleep on the way back in the crew cabins on the way back and just never woke up. Only 40 yrs old. That being bad enough with him dying on the Friday, his dad just died on Sunday.

As the wife/sister - how do you even begin to go about getting your head around that? Life really is **** sometimes (which neatly segues back to the idea of just enjoying yourself and playing it by ear).

 

A girl started calling me baby as I went through a phone contract with her.

 

Sorry to hear that.

 

That is really cruel.

 

Time to give you my all-time favourite quote;

Enjoy life: this is not a rehearsal.

And my second favourite;

No one, on their deathbed, wished that they had spent more time in the office.

Although I must say that a long period of unemployment, or doing a job I thought worthless would definitely be a bummer.
