midsummer festivities a'la holmes and watson:
drink drink drink and then stalk a grumpy neighbor obviously ashamed of having a boyfriend or something and feel a little guilty and apologetic afterwards. i was holmes, after all and we were so fucking bored with our selves and nothing happening. we are very sorry, yes, but not giving up

Sorry to hear that... What kind of games is the employment agency playing this time?

I guess this world of ours simply is a little messed up. Someone from work just told me the other day how her boyfriend can't get any money now that he's on sick leave. He isn't getting any sickness allowance 'cause obviously his income from the year who-knows-when wasn't enough and then again he wont be getting any unemployment allowance either 'cause he is officially a student. And because he is on a long sick leave he can't work, so there's absolutely no way for him to get money. What is wrong with this world?!

I hope everything turns out good for you.

first they tell me to do this and that and now after month of this and that i get told i am not getting any money from it. i am just a liiittle bit pissed off.

it's fucked up, really. one day at work during a break i was reading this article about some guy who had had an accident of some sort which caused him to have complete memory black outs every five to ten minutes. his doctor agreed he was unable to work anymore, considering the circumstances. he was some kind of a ceo, but the kela doctor disagreed, saying he was fully capable of working. all that damage and unnecessary paper work just because some idiotic doc flipped thru a few papers and didn't bother to do even that properly.

and the head injury man did get his way in the end. after some struggling but still. how stupid is that?

They're not paying you anything?! That's so wrong!

Sometimes I really wonder what those people who work for Kela are thinking... Do they assume that some people have actually found a way to live in this world without making any money? And that head injury man is just another great example of how Kela works. How could someone with such an injury be fully capable of working? I bet that they don't even read the papers that are sent to them. Instead they must be using some lottery method to decide who get's money and who doesn't. So I guess I shouldn't be surprised if they some day started to pay me maternity grant instead of student financial aid. That would only mean that I'd won a different lottery ticket...

yep. i have my backup plans however. i just need to get to the bottom of this and find out who's responsible and someone is going to pay.

they must be using some lottery method

nah, i don't think they even bother to do that. my guess is whatever paper doesn't get lost/blown away in the wind/go straight to the shredder/'get lost' they somehow manage to scramble through and send to who ever the poor bastard they are using to do all the work on their behalf. then this hard working little mouse who never says a damn thing, especially about the work conditions, makes the final decision with the little sanity s/he has left, and then some big fat arsed sweaty pig of a boss signs it blindfolded. while having a thai massage. naked. and digging his way through a quearter pounder.
close?
