Officially "employed"

Today I made a bold decision - I told Centrelink, more or less politely, to shove their Youth Allowance up their corrupt arses. They were pretty much forcing me to go on Work for the Dole, which basically means I have to work, but don't get any extra money. Working for $126.42 a fortnight? FUCK OFF.

So now the need for a job is slightly increased, but fortunately I've been on the trail of employment in the last week or so and had an interview after sending only a few applications, and then got another call about a job which I'll probably get an interview for. In fact, I think the phone call WAS the interview. (It's a telemarketing job - yes, I'm a sellout. I don't care.)

So that's another victory for the bastards in charge of Centrelink, whose job it is to heap so much bullshit and beurocracy onto people that they don't bother claiming any unemployment benefits, and therefore the unemployment rates look better and the Government doesn't have to spend as much money helping people when it could be spending its money on ruining the country.
