Well, stuff has happened.
That is all, thank you.

I keed!
Well, what happened last time? I went to the seminar at Actionworks, I learned about the help they offer, about job seeking, about other stuff they can help with and filled in my benefit, and then they sent me away. I'd been told I was registered in the database and that they didn't handle the benefit papers. I had to ring up WINZ two weeks later going "I thought my benefit was supposed to start?" to which they replied "Oh, you have to go in for a second seminar, I'll slot you in here" The lady I talked to was ever so nice, if only the people at Actionworks (Actionworks is independent to Work and Income New Zealand) had told me I needed to go to a second seminar. Not that I have any anger towards them, they're there to help me, and I am thankful.
So yes, I went to the second seminar, and I got Karen as my Case Manager. She's ever so awesome, and she thinks I'm a gem. I will admit that being a social worker is an unthankful job, I've heard that case managers even get attacked by the people they're helping. My parents have always taught me to be polite and kind, and I am, but it saddens me that people don't understand that hurting the people that are there to help them.
I uh, even made Karen a pair of earrings, in thanks for helping me. She was so floored she hugged me. Dada says it's a thankless job, people are angry because they think the case managers aren't helping, I just.
Un, sorry, getting into my own personal view of the world, and boy is my view cynical.
Yes, so as an agreement to fulfill my part so that I can receive my benefit I have to go into Actionworks every Monday and Wednesday. I have been, but I also have contact with Mike from Skills4You, they help put you into a job, and then up skill you. So I only have to come to Actionworks every Monday.
But yes, Mike got me an interview with the owner of Silver Moon, a Jewelery shop here in Christchurch, and apparently it's spreading to other towns. I'm currently doing unpaid job experience there, Tuesday-Saturday. Today was my first day at work. It was pretty slowish, but time practically flew. I'm sore and tired, but I get to feel like I'm doing something worthwhile. Because it's mere job experience I get to keep my unemployment benefit, which is good. The reason I'm on the benefit is to help my family.
On that front, father has gotten a new job, one that pays more that his old one. Mother is... being turned down left, right and center, it's doing
hell on her self-confidence, but hopefully she'll get this other job she went to an interview today.
Things are... well I think they're looking up a little. Our family has each other, and I has friends too, I think we can pull through this.
Which in unusually confident of me.
So yes, that's what's happened... in a random eclectic nutshell.
How had you all been?
