The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Well I’d signed on recently, seeing the advisor I’ve seen since I left the work programme. As I stood and was walked from the desk, I’d talked of the weather and of my arm, as I had explained why my signature was so bad: my right arm had not worked for weeks and I’d had an xray, to see why. As it happens, the arthritis and impingement of the spine is worse. But that’s an aside. After I’d spoken, the advisor had pointed with her arm, then suggested “You should go there… to go sick…” I’d taken umbrage at that and explained, “I have my arm and my mouth and, that’s what I need for what I do.”

Granted my doctor would sign me off for my arm, my spine or depression. But having encountered Birkenhead office and been lied to and seen what Atos are like, I’m staying as I’ve done for years, looking for suitable employ.

It just seems they don’t know what to do with this particular fifty-four year old, with a few issues and a desire to find work. I cannot get my health and safety, first-aid, or food safety, all of which the dole used to help me attain. Now all I get in the way of help is directions to their website, which is partnered with Monster.co.uk, who have previously misused my data. And, this is a website I’m instructed by some advisors to use, or face sanction. When you view the governments website as a ‘customer’ it is hard to find any real jobs. Granted, one can help fill an agencies books, of find work distributing catalogues, working Avon… or contacting Joan and Arthur, or something like that, the page of which had a link to a website that was selling not jobs, but a ‘business opportunity’ that at first second and third read, read like Pyramid selling, which is quite illegal. So here we have a government liased website, I have to use, by dictate, directing me to a website doing pyramid selling and their terms and conditions deny responsibility for such-like. That’s wrong as is much of the site and, very much against the spirit if not law relating to the Data Protection Act, I believe. But, their new terms and conditions deny responsibility for third parties who use their site, or loss of personal data.

I used to be of the option that the unemployed abused the system, but further investing really opened my eyes (uk shows like Benefit St probably encouraged that prejudice). I found this news item among many things that can be found on google and youtube on this very subject.

I'd heard various things on this topic, and didn't believe it, and presumed it was just lazy people not wanting to look for work. Particularly since it was said to be on a government run job site. Sadly you are right, Angelus. I would see various uk online legitimate reports and even documentaries investigating. There are reports on the site that show that the site is loaded with sites with jobs that don't exist and some that are data collection for cold callers. I heard of tales of people getting hacked by sites that uk job center employees had forced them to apply for in the first place and endless cold calls from various companies 50 times a day. I'm sure it wouldn't take government employees long to do a quick google on each employer that adds to their site. Surely that would be logical to check the jobs are legitimate, rather than get sued for having their computers hacked. The worst thing discovered, the employees in job center office knew many of the jobs were hoaxes but encouraged the faux companies in order to pad out the job site. It seems to be a con and deception of epic proportions. My first thoughts were wrong, it is the government employees that are lazy (shame on me for assuming the worst of the unemployed). How about fire them and hire among the thousands of unemployed they tried to dupe. I'm sure many Uk people had high hope for the Coalition Government and are deeply disappointed, scared and let down.I worry for the poor, the vulnerable that could be subjected to hoaxes that put their computer and finances in dangerous predicament. As hard it is to work in this economy, not just Europe, but Uk America. It's tough as it is to work in this, the alternative is unthinkable and I count my blessings.

I was taught that the cards are a source of divinity, by a wiccan 'witch', wgho knew more than some and less than others.



Risa had been a very physical, demanding, yet giving lover...



I never read by a book and, I had my own set of 'pretty cards'...



Then I stopped reading, for years; an when I read again, it was with a normal set of cards, which told me that soon, the cycle would be complete.



It is, Now.
