So Friday, posted the tax paperwork, that the tax department say's it hasn't received and went to the meeting with the Wesley Uniting Group. Now interestingly enough I had a few more questions for the organization, and we started with that. You see I was interested in the supposed $800 educational credit you receive for doing the program, because I actually have an issue with that. I don't doubt that this may be suitable for someone that has no education and can use it as a form of payment to improve their knowledge, but as an individual that is educated, looking for work, and building a business, which is not against the law, any money that I am entitled to for providing labor I require to invest, and not into someone else's business, which is anti - competitive practices. However to continue, because I am well aware that even when you are promised something, it doesn't' mean you will receive it, so I asked for the contract to determine if this was indeed on the agreement terms. It is not. In fact there's nothing on the contract agreement terms with regards to how many hours one must work for the organization in question or what work is to be performed.
So anyway a few more question's, and the meeting is ended when I decline to sign the contract. Now interestingly enough I know this will be the third breach and as such what one would assume will be cancellation of payment, so I decide to make life a little easier on myself, you see Monday, my birthday Wahhoooo, I've been booked in for an appointment with the Job Network. And basically as I'm now fed up with the contracts, its time to make my own contractual agreements known. I asked to speak with the representative that has been handling my paperwork, and no I don't have anything against this person in particular, however if I am responsible to you regarding paperwork and contracts you are in effect responsible to me.
So I pointed out that I am aware of the meeting Monday, however as I am no longer in receipt of payment according to the guidelines, I see no reason to attend. I also pointed out that if I do here from them in the 8 week breach period I will consider it harassment, if I don't here from them in terms of the contract and their responsibility to refer me for positions, I will consider it neglect. So here we have the double bind, dammed if you do, dammed if you don't some what similar to the "Work For The Dole Contracts".
However with that said, I am now going to have a great birthday, and eight weeks unpaid holiday, four which I don't get as an unemployed person and the year of effort I've spent looking for work, and four for the following year which I'm taking in advance because the harder you try and make me work, the less likely I am too.
However what I will be doing is spending the next eight to maybe thirteen weeks on a couple of my favorite hobbies. So while you all sit and debate about who should be providing cheap labor to the Church and Non Profit Organizations. Just know it won't be me. And terrible sorry I won't be about to see your pink ribbon day Monday, but Gee, I wonder why that is...could it be that I have better things to do, and none of them include relating to you.
P.S. Lipcrack business will continue as normal.

Yeah...and you're right, I do give new meaning to the word "Asshole", but it's probably because I'm surrounded by so many of them".

So just went over the to do list preparing it for a big week ahead. I've actually kind of taken Saturday and Sunday out to clear my head. You know when you've spent the last year in a program, or at least getting shuffled around from one program to another, and you step back and say No I'm going to try a few things on my own, it leaves a rather large void...."Like now that I'm not stressing out about appointment times, paperwork and meaningless visits to offices" how am I going to productively use my time, and how am I going to use the resources I have to carry out those tasks that I need to do in order to survive".
Not the biggest objective, but the one I have to work with. So that's it really, first time I've had a de cluttered brain in quite some time, and have to say, feeling somewhat mentally refreshed from it. What will occur in the next few week's well that for now shall remain a mystery.
