JD has been and gone twice already since the last post and I still haven't done any more painting. Given how bad I felt after last time I do have the perfect excuse - I'm just not sure how long this excuse will wear with others. I received a delightful letter from Centrelink during the week telling me that my payments had been suspended. When I visited them to ask them why, they told me it was because I hadn't signed a work agreement form. I asked them why they hadn't let me know this, so after checking the computer, they told me it was because I had a doctors certificate saying that I couldn't work but it had now expired so I am now expected to get work but they hadn't informed me of this procedure. Ahh Centrelink, your logic is not of our Earth logic.
Thankfully, I have had the Melbourne Swing Festival to take my mind away from such trivial matters - it's a long weekend Centrelink, how do you expect me to go job hunting when everyone is away/watching soccer/dancing? Lots of very talented and dedicated people have been congregating all over Melbourne wearing awesome t-shirts and beautiful Asian inspired clothes for variously themed events. Volunteering at these events means I get free access in exchange for sitting around chatting to some very interesting people. My spare time this week has been spent on altering clothes to wear to these events which has been lovely as cleaning up at the end of a sewing session hasn't meant running paint brushes under freezing cold water for 20 minutes while it is 8 degress celcius outside.
Even managed to get JD to help with the sewing stuff - he tied me into my dress last night and took pictures - he is becoming my apprentice everything at the moment! Actually, yesterday ended up being a little surreal. Had a ballet class in the afternoon, swing ball in the evening and late night catch up with friends at a surburban pub with an 80's cover band and loads of drunk teenagers falling over each other and getting thrown out. Evolution teaches us nothing about our behaviour - does it BP?
