Just shut this poo poo down, not these piss-ant half measures. Can't go to my pilates class that'll do it Scomo, cheers you spineless oval office.

Seriously.

It's causing far more stress having the restrictions change every few days than would have been caused by going full on draconian at the outset, not to mention that delaying introducing new restrictions just provides more opportunities for the virus to spread.

A dole form used to be a 2 sided less than a4 size questionnaire with about a dozen yes/no answers and a 5 line box to list the 2 or 3 places you "looked" for work.
If you lived rurally enough you could mail it in.

It takes about 4 clicks (of a mouse or finger) and you have to answer a secret question now.

Please.

I smashed my ribs a while back (still hurts to breathe), so I'm on some medical disability thing. No cueing for me. E: <--- I meant "queuing". Oops.

I love how they kept telling people to do it online or by phone. If they ever tried accessing Centrelink's online or phone services, they might understand why people would prefer to turn up at an office and wait for hours.

You gotta do some Zen poo poo. I guess it helps that I was into self-hypnosis and meditation in my teens.

Longest I've been on the phone to Centrelink was about 3 hours (pre-Covid 19).

I actually feel sorry for the Centrelink people. :hfive: to the IT guys for keeping that poo poo running!

There's so much contradictory information being given that they might as well tell people to do whatever they feel like.

I think our low death toll is really working against people taking the risks seriously.

One day Jestery was walking through a market. He overheard a disheveled old man say to a dealer "Give me the best shard you have, oval office."

The dealer replied "Every bag I have is the best."

At these words, Jestery was enlightened.

as some of you know I used to work for a (group of) bowlos.


talking to some friends there, the whole business has shut down. that is 400+ casual, full time and part time staff without work. 680+ pokies not generating revenue.

the Whitlams won. bye bye pokies.

e: for detail the business was running on a shoe string budget before i left last year due to over capitalising on renovations at some of the venues. if they are out of action for a few months they will be broke.
