The Inland Revenue seemed to think I was on that too. <br />"So", I said "You tell me where the **** it is, because, as you'll see, I live in a decrepit rented house, full of mismatched and decrepit furniture, my designer wardrobe comes from charity shops but not Oxfam because they're too pricy, and my food is from supermarkets who sell stuff labelled in languages I can't read, so if you can find where my subconscious is hiding the dosh, I'll be grateful."<br />Bastards.<br />I've been on the dole too, forced to sit in grubby rooms with some patronising plonker pontificating as to how to restart my career, the bastard had the nerve to tell all of us on the "Re-start" course that we weren't trying hard enough.<br />The guy next to me had, the previous day, set off at four-thirty in the morning on his bicycle, in the rain, to cycle from Leeds to Middlesborough, for an interview. <br />"They told me I was too scruffy for the job, because I was soaked and sweaty, and dirty, after I'd been put off the bike by a bus, and landed in the ditch".<br /><br />The course leader, an ex copper, told us to list our skills and abilities, and write a list of jobs we could do that we had not been looking for.<br /><br />"You there, what other job could you do?", he asked, pointing at me. "Well, I could do yours". <br />That didn't go down too well.<br />But then I got some work through an agency, driving truck-loads of mushrooms through the dark, to arrive at wholesale markets around the country before dawn. <br />I'd have preferred the plonker's job.soubriquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151288534629885195noreply@blogger.com
