September's Good Newsletter

I've only really skimmed through Tara's good newsletter for September, but it sounds like the most helpful newsletter thus far;why it's better to trust in your astrological sign than questioning everything that happens, why it's better to be unemployed, being the master of your dreams and finally who's responsible for the multilation of livestock.

So, according to Tara, my astrological sign can help me solve so many problems, and open doors for me. I'm (like so many people) just aren't taking advantage of my astrological sign and reaping the benifits.

Apparently to reap the benifits of my astrological star sign, I should start embodying the key charactistics if I don't already.

So I basically have to stop being myself and start being fake to be able to take adavantage of my astrological star sign ...

It's always so refreshing to be told to stop being yourself if you want to be successful. Like being yourself is an automatic fail in life.

Ok, so I'm going to admit that when I wrote about it being better to be unemployed earlier, it was before I had read too deeply into this month's newsletter. I really couldn't care less about the woman in Tara's example or how it is actually better to be unemployed than it is to be employed.

But then, I'm not a pyschic, so maybe the mystery of this while forever escape me.

Although, from what I can gather, things seem to work more perfectly when unemployed. I guess that's why unemployed people don't bang on about how great life is when living off the pittance the government hands out to the needy.

After all, if everybody knew about how easy life is when unemployed, everybody would be unemployed instead of being foolish and working.

But this being said, I'm clearly doing the whole unemployed thing wrong; my life isn't all that easy and I can't help but suspecting it would be a lot easier if I were actually employed.

But like I said earlier, I'm no pyschic. So maybe the mystery and truth about this situation is once again escaping me.

I don't think I need to cover lucid dreaming. Either you can do lucid dream or you can't. But lucid dreams aren't as good as the non-lucid dreams. The craziness of normal dreams is just fantastic!

And now I'm onto the topic that has been causing me so much concern; my livestock and what has been mutilating them.

I don't know about you, but I'm despairing about how much my livestock gets mutilated so often. It's just so depressing.

Ok, so I also skimmed through this part of Tara's newsletter. But from what I saw, she doesn't offer any new answers; the mutilation is the work of aliens, extra terrestials or UFO's (which apparently are all completely different). There's nothing about the whole natural thing about natural predators and/or weird weather conditions that make dead bosies appear like they've been mutilated.

Although, it does appear that pyschics believe in aliens ... So I have learned something today.

How About Incentive to Actually Get Work?

Yeah, so. I don't know if you're aware of this little fact or not, but I'm currently enrolled in a pre-employment program that lands me a guaranteed interview at the end of it.

So yay me for that little achievement.

But it's not in Ballarat.

I have to travel to Melbourne every day to get to class.

It's not too bad, even if it is a little costly for someone struggling to live off Centre Link.

But no worries, right? As part of my Centre Link conditions I now have a job employment agency to help me out. And as it turns out, job employment agencies supposedly help people with them with these costs.

So I took myself down to CVGT to see if they'll help me out with my train fares, because that extra $90 is everything when you're only form of income is the pittance Centre Link pays.

Turns out that my employment status isn't urgent enough for CVGT to be able to help me out. As a Stream one person, the government is more than happy to punish me for being unemployed, but won't help me with costs for finding work.

It's as though they secretly want people to remain unemployed for as long as possible. At the moment it feels as though I should just drop out of the course I'm currently in and wait until I'm in a higher stream and am guaranteed the financial assistance that I so desperately need.

The way things are currently, I really can't see any benefit to doing this course if I can't afford to buy food. I feel as though I should just wait until I'm in a more urgent stream before continuing with this course.

I thought the government wanted to lower unemployment, not encourage it.

If they were really serious about lowering it, they would have the lower streams getting the financial aid, instead of waiting for the doll bludgers to reach a really urgent stage of unemployment before handing out financial assistance.

They should be rewarding people who actually go out and actively do things that will help get them a job.

But this would, of course, mean that the government would actually be thinking about something and doing it effectively. And we all know that that's impossible.

No Faith

Today while waiting at least half an hour for the three people in front of me to be served, I couldn't help but notice a sign Centre Link had put up explaining that everyone was in casual clothes because of Casual Friday.

Centre Link, or the people in the Ballarat office at least, really must not have that much faith in the people who receive payments if they felt the need to explain that.

I'm pretty certain that everyone knows about Casual Friday. Even if they are unemployed!

But maybe they've seen enough over the years to realize that maybe most people who receive Centre Link payments will never see the inside of an office building besides their local Centre Link one. Maybe the people in the Ballarat office are just realists.

I don't know.

It doesn't raise a person's spirits while in there though ... and it's already depressing enough in there as it is.
