Good Morning!

Hello @TAB how are you feeling today? I'm about to get out in my garden and plant some vegetables 

[TAB]

um, probably a bit better thanks @SmilingGecko  have learnt what not to do re knee, so not upsetting it so often now. 

That's good re gardening. 

I'm going to go to a DES appointment, well can get a park not far from there, just to catch up. person saw last time was saying its possible to finish cert IV Tae I had already started elsewhere with provider that visits them regularly. Maybe I can sneak it in before I go back to work lol

Hi @Daisydreamer
More overwhelmed due to me moving on from a good group of work colleagues

[SmilingGecko]

Thats good @TAB, you're tweaking it with your knee! I don't know what is involved with TAFE nowadays. You may be able to go back and study.  I'm tired of employment services and how they operate.  Its more about paying the employment service for reaching their stats.  I think there is a lot of social structural problems created by these services that have very little to do with facilitating back to employment.

it would be through a private company if do it there @SmilingGecko  yes its a total scam, I get $780/fortnight with rent relief

they get $400 a fortnight for me being attended for interview.

also am on cashless card, run by same person who owns DES I go to they get $480 a fortnight for that, whereas in normal business circles for same service it would be around $10..

So billionaire Forrest gets more from centrelink than I do, but hes got 12,000 people on books and wants way way more

just a total con, they are that crooked they think they deserve it though..

Hey forumites
What is the event tonight?
Peer group chat?

[Former-Member]

@MDT That would be the Online Peer Group (OPG). Is that what you're after?

[SmilingGecko]

I never liked the guise of government paternalism @TAB its a cash grab for Forrest. Its simple if they want people to so-called budget: you just build blood in the body using a qigong posture called horse stance, the legs will produce more blood and you will not want to buy anything. True! When your blood is weak you want to fill yourself up somehow and for most people its shopping. I learned this from a traditional chinese medical doctor who shares lifestyle medicine tips. 

[TAB]

yeah he's not even government, its just funnelling money for nothing to him @SmilingGecko  and obv money no object re increases for centrelink payments re govt paying billions to him and others  for nothing basically, if they went back to old system of 1960s and 70s when there was actual real zero unemployment, anyone that wanted dole , they would happily give it, not questions asked, now, the actual payment might be 1/5th to 1/10th of entire cost, all just free money for billionaires and multinational companies and bureaucrats

ok sounds like I need to do some Tai Chi lol

[TAB]

ohh @MDT  guess they werent the reason you are leaving.. that's Life I guess ..
