Drag 2010: Part II - The Drag Strikes Back

[Pickman's model]

*yawwwnnnnn*

morning - am a bit bleary eyed this morning, and attempting to buck myself up with a nice zingy ginger and lemon tea. chasing tenants for money is not fun - they keep coming up with the same excuses, piss poor show really

I am also hoping for a nice quiet day

i didn't know you were a rent collector

 

[sojourner]

i didn't know you were a rent collector

I manage a business centre, so I guess in effect part of my job is rent collecting. If I don't collect it, I don't get paid

TFIF basically

*inserts obligatory CUNT remark*

Actually I've just noticed I'm on answerphone duty this weekend, so my holiday doesn't start until tomorrow afternoon.

"You have to be willing to do the things today that others won't do in order to have the things tomorrow others won't have."

I totally collect rent as well, it pays for weekends in Oxford -

 

[Badgers]

I think that I will sell my office chair and get one of these to use instead. This could work, it could really work people!!!

What the fucking fuck does that even mean?! makes my head hurty

ooo I like Oxford. Only been once but totally loved the place

 

[kittyP]

I have put a monumental pile of washing away, opened up all the windows, cleaned manky cat litter tray, cleaned the kitchen.
Having a fag until house-mates washing is done so I can get ours in.

I had a sudden burst of energy.
I think ill just keep going until my back says no more now.

I can just see your bosses face if he walked in to the office to find you sitting in one of those at your desk

I've been a few times before, but only for the day, spending Friday night, Saturday and Sunday there, should be good.

don't forget the G&T waiting for you when you come back from a hard day's drag.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

Oh god oh god oh god Job Centre making me apply for a £6ph job today. Patronising, rude and clueless phone call yesterday;

JC+ monkey: <outlines job description> So, does that sound like something you'd be interested in?
Me: Well, no, not really....
JC+: If you don't apply we'll stop your money...
Me: YES I KNOW SO WHY ASK THEN?
JC+: See you tomorrow then.



and you can FECK OFF with your 'Haha '

 

[kittyP]

I can quite see you on a surf board actually

Paulie Paulie Paulie! Have the rules changed? Can they make me apply for stuff on pain of being cut off BEFORE 13 weeks now?

Its a bit too early for a GnT now isn't it?

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

grey area tbh. rules suggest not, practice (and what we've been hearing lately) suggests otherwise. if your 2 claims link, i.e. they're less than 8 or 12 weeks apart, then requirements can kick in sooner as well.

true, but now I have a vision of Badgers in a spinning Bow tie, and nothing else, carrying a G&T on a tray to you

and the vision will not leave me EVER!

Badgers, you better come home like that now or I am gonna be so disappointed!

Oh, ugh. Yeah, two claims might link - can't face working it out and counting weeks etc.

Tbh I would like some structure back in my life (since not working since 28/5) but also I am wondering -- if I 'take' this gig then the agency comes through with something good (i.e. thrice the money etc) then I can just quit £6ph gig and remove myself from the system, right? They're not going to make me sign a 6 month contract or anything, right?

Thanks for advice

He needs to come to all of our houses like that. Well new social media, I see a start up.

you're supposed to keep to your job seekers agreement, which may include having to apply for x numbers of jobs a week.
