New Labour councillor in my local ward, stolen from a Lib Dem by a good margin (so far as I know). The result I was most arsed about, and it's gone the way I wanted. Happy days. Anything else is a bonus, now.
The BBC used to let you stream election night coverage on their website. Now it asks if you have a TV licence. I don't. Now watching Sky's live feed despite hating it.
Laters, BBC. I'll wave to you as you disappear beneath the waves.
Mark me now. Pay angular heed. Come January - strong winds; chance of Full Marsden. Twist in my spiracular storm of mundanity. Feel the elbows of my juxtaposed wrath. Eat this bowl of nothing. Eat it, and sate thyself.
@HobgoblinHare Hahaha! Amen. I'm going to listen to that bit of Vivaldi which never kicks in for up to two hours, before probably having to go into the Jobcentre regardless. Have fun proving you're not an identity pirate!
@HobgoblinHare I'm just so very, very tired. I got yet another job this week, and I haven't even really been able to pat myself on the back for that, 'cos I've been too busy spinning shallow bowls of sloppy excrement.
Best of luck with yours! I believe in us.
@HobgoblinHare It's flat-out ridiculous. Root to branch, it's entirely in disarray. I was braced for it being difficult but it's been a genuine nightmare. The UC staff have had the JSA systems taken off their desktops as well, so they can't even ascertain what your status is. Hnnnnng.
@HobgoblinHare Yep. Precisely. I'm getting notifications on UC that I can't receive it because I'm on JSA, even though I haven't signed in over a month now. So I'm on both systems & neither, all at once. It feels like I've been punished for getting a job. I've been nothing but stress since.
@HobgoblinHare That's the problem. It's not even their fault. Equally, some think they're right about procedure when they're actually wrong, but won't believe you when you try to correct them.
I'm mainly tired of having to sing The Ballad of This Shit over and over.
@HobgoblinHare Christ. Yours is worse.
They don't. None of the Jobcentre staff know what anyone needs to do. I had to talk to 5 people on phone/in-house before it 'got sorted' last time. It didn't take. Now looking forward to wading through the next 5 people to get help. 100% will do a cry.
@HobgoblinHare Fantastic news! I've also apparently not had a kid since July even though I took proof of her address last time & was told they couldn't put it on the system! SO WHY HAVE I BEEN WASHING ALL OF THESE TINY CLOTHES & COOKING FAR TOO MUCH FOOD?!
If I had a wish, t'would be for good discourse, Pure and simple. That's all. No matter the outcome, no ground to be gained. Just words. There's a severe and handsome beauty in words.
I wish we'd take advantage of that.
