The Centrelink drama continues. After 3 months of applying for Youth Allowance without payment, I sent off the final volley of correspondence yesterday.
The most recent development is that I can't receive it because I've taken too long to take my course. Which I guess is fair enough, but it's stupid when you consider that if I'd quit my course and started a new one (instead of just changing streams) all this would be fine. But I'm playing the "situation out of my control" card, and hoping for an extension to the usual allowed course time so I can be finally back paid. So far so good, but it'll take them another 2 weeks to get back to me, and truth be honest I'm gearing myself up for the rejection that I know is coming.
I can't apply to Newstart, which was this morning's job, until Monday because I'm still technically a full time student, but that will take a further 21 days to process the application.
Guh.

Things are chugging along otherwise. I have an essay to write today, and my second shrink appointment (finally). However, I have been feeling somewhat emotionally fragile for the past week, which sucks monkey balls. I shouldn't let it all get to me, but there's just a lot of things that are knocking on my door still.

Also, since when was I a gamer? This is both an amusing and disturbing concept.

Work time.
