george bush doesn't like black people

The picture to the left is a completely accurate represtation of what it's like to be on the dole.

I'm being fully hassled by my Job Network Provider at the moment. I'm receiving phonecalls and endless emails. She (my "case manager" or whatever they call themselves) keeps asking for me to provide documentation to prove that I'm studying full time and then keeps saying I should be on Austudy. If this sounds familiar, it's because I've gone through the same rigmarole with this particular worker's predecessor.

This morning she rang and asked for me. When my housemate said I was at school, she basically accused her of lying because she "could hear voices in the background."

My tentative plan is to go back to studying next semester in which case I will need to go on Austudy, that is if it still exists by then. Christ, now that I want to get off the dole I can feel the icy tendrils of the Job Network trying to pull me back in.
