Head meet desk. Repeat untill unconcious *EDIT*
So, here’s a thing.
I was informed earlier in the month that my contribution based JSA would run out on the 18th. Not wanting things to be dragged out over the holidays, I immediately went to James Cook House, filled out the form in question and handed it in.
When I went to my 6 month interview, I asked if everything had been sorted, and was assured that it was. I came home happy with the situation.
I was due to get a payment yesterday. So, in desperate need for tobacco (those readers of mine who smoke will understand) I headed into town as my money usually goes in at midnight.
And sure enough it was. All £16.90 of it.
Course, 2 weeks money is more like £114.
So, i took out £10 and also got a ministatement. It wasn’t a problem with the maching. It really was £16.90 that had been put into my account.
I came back to the flat and worked it out with the calculator. The money i got was the last 2 days of my contribution based JSA.
Fucksocks.
So, I phoned them today. Turns out that my reward for being dilligent and getting the form filled out quickly and in advance was that it was put into the pending file, where it was supposed to be dealt with two days before the contribution based JSA ran out, and promptly forgot about it.
Even better, if they couldn’t find my original form I’d have to fill out another one. Thankfully they did and I’m getting my money tomorrow afternoon.
Seriously, I don’t think this year could get any worse. Well, I could get a STD. Even then, at least I’ll have got laid.
BTW, still looking for questions for the The Peoples Interview: williamthebloody 2007 special. I’m hoping to post it on Hogmany, but I can’t if I don’t have any questions.

And it’s big. Giant, enormous big.
Remember this entry?
Well, on a whim, I decided to search facebook to see if I could find the ex in question. With a bit of searching, I found someone I thought was her. After a bit more electronic messing about, I was able to see the profile and find a link to her myspace page. Still wasn’t able to confirm it was her as there were no actual pictures of her on the facebook page. Or in her pics on myspace.
But I read her myspace blog. And there were pics of her for an article that appeared in the local paper. And her daughter. Who was named. So, I now know what daughter looks like and what her name is. For the first time. In eight years.
Ladies and gentlemen, i present to you my ex girlfriend. And my daughter, Amy:
I am shaking. Actually, physically shaking. This is huge. Fucking huge. I don’t think anyone reading this can know exactly what this means to me.
And the funny thing? I just yesterday watched the last pre-strike episode of Pushing Daisies and the following dialogue was included:
Emerson: The relationship between a father and his daughter is tenuous. It’s very fragile. It could take a life time to sort out all the issues there. And what you think? You can just all “happily ever after” after just one minute? Man, you a dreamer.
Emerson: I’m a father.
Ned: As in a priest?
Emerson: As in a man… with a daughter.
Thank FSM I get my money tomorrow, cos I’ll need a stiff drink or 10.

Questions… Did you make any resolutions for yourself this year? I’m guessing you’re probably one of those people who doesn’t make resolutions; so am I, but I still made one secretly in my head. Did you do that? And if so, did it stick? What action taken by your government most affected you this year? What did you expect to happen in 2007 that didn’t? What DID happen that you weren’t expecting?

What changed about you this year? What would you like to change about yourself next year? Do you like fireworks on NYE or are they overrated? Ok that’s all I can think of. Glad your payment got sorted out. It’s such a pain in the arse when you try to do the right thing and they screw it up. xo

Good lord, I’m shaking and I barely know you. That IS big. She is a gorgeous girl. Stunning. Redhead, even? I don’t know what else to say, though. I’ll try to think of some questions later. Take care,

ryn: It’s the Boulder version of a Scottish pub… meaning you for sure wouldn’t recognize it as one! Its presence (in the building in which I work, no less!) does tickle my mildly Scotsophile self, however. Anywhere I can choose from six different kinds of mashed potatoes and have a good stout beer holds a special place in my heart (and stomach). Take care,

RYN: You’re welcome; I left my cards to the last minute this year cause stuff kept cropping up and I was worried it wouldn’t get to you in time! I had hoped to find some stick-on googly eyes for Santa for that hint of extra-craziness but didn’t have much luck.
