Mid August..
Sorry blog. Not updated much recently.
Frankly because I haven’t had much to say. Getting up, shower, breakfast, apply for jobs. Work on Dalek. Lunch, watch a Dr Who episode with that. Do some animation odds and ends. Prepare dinner, eat dinner. Might talk to Hannah in the evening for a bit, or more likely go and play Minecraft for a couple of hours until Hannah is ready for bed. And repeat. Forever.
The only exciting thing is there have been some massive bills coming in. Utility costs have been going up, quite a lot. And there has been no raise in the amount of money the long term unemployed get.. so.. staying poor, getting poorer, and trying to delay bills coming in. But they are only building up.
I was rather looking forward to a year ‘off’. Ie- one where I could work every other day, save up some money, work on my Dalek. But the Universe seems to have other ideas. Nothing has come together, I can’t get work, the Dalek project is falling apart, costing more than expected, and bills are coming in from every direction. And I am supposed to be saving to move house by the end of the year. How the fuck I can do that, when the only money I have is around 85 cents on my desk that I found on the street in random 5 cent pieces, I don’t know.
I am getting sick and tired of living my life at the moment, and there doesn’t seem to be an opportunity for change, or advancement. People have told me to ‘stay postive’, but hitting 11 months of unemployment, it isn’t easy. Especially with ‘work for the dole’ coming up in a month or so. Where I get to pick up litter in the street with the rest of the unemployable.
