righto..... i had an appointment at the job centre today for a work focused interview (bit of a surprise this as im a full time carer but hey ho off i went). now my appointment card said 9.40 am so i turned up 10 mins early to be told my appointment was at 9.20 but as i had my card with me there was a bit of confusion and they let me off (bloody cheek!).
So off i go to chat with some minion only to be told that noone has a clue as to why iv been called in at all and that they had nowt to discuss with me.
i was so stunned at their incompetance that i just said ok then and bye .......
anyhow all was not losdt as i noticed a shop selling 3 box's of beer for 18 quid so i bought some and went home with 45 cans of carling (not summat im overly fond of but cheap beer is cheap beer!). i can see a lost afternoon coming on.

it gets better.
the jobcentre cancelled my claim for incapacity with no notice and had to look for work and sign on
and when i phoned up to complain and put a appeal in they said i was eligible for incapacity and that i didnt need to sign on because i was classed as partially disabled

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, beer in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming
