Good Morning!

Hey @Former-Member

Sorry to hear of your upset. I hope your crystals bring you some calm and peace

Yeah they pause it for 2 years if you can work, if not you can come back to it @StuF

glad someone came online was getting bored!

That's good to know @Former-Member

I mean, I currently work, but less than the threshold. I'm always looking for other jobs that I might fit into, but even most 'part time' work is way too many hours for the DSP

Yeah- I slept in somewhat! lol

I've got work this afternoon. You up to anything?

Ah I hear you @StuF @it’s not much on the dsp and if you work 8 hours or whatever the threshold is, it still isn’t much.

what kind of work do you do, stuf?

not much on today, did a bit of cleaning,

ate, now thinking about the weekend but Covid lol

Yeah @Former-Member

I'm not looking for "much" necessarily. But I need more to do. But also feel the need to keep the DSP- I can't see myself working full time again and need the safety net if changing jobs doesn't work out. I should do some volunteering- if I ever pull my finger out.

I work at an art centre for the council. I set up rooms, move furniture, some cleaning, some gardening...pretty much whatever they need me to do. Which is cool- most of it is pretty easy and there is enough variety to keep me at least half engaged. And I'm generally left to do my own thing.

I wouldn't be contemplating leaving if they'd give me more hours!

Anyway- going to grab some lunch and head to work. Have a good Friday afternoon!

.. think am "sleeping'' today .. @StuF had restless semi-sleep nap all morning. oh well, there's always next week ha ha lol

should organise another heater before tonight tho and would like to see 'big city'and 'bigger city up the road newspapers which found out cannot get locally lol

woman at so-called newsagents look aghast when relating the tale of the Transcontinental newspaper .. 'they wanted me to take min 50 copies .. I cant sell that many .. not with that attitude you cant.. lolo ......................

..enjoy work .. gave myself a smile, should get big boy pants on and drive to big boy town ha ha lol..

yeah , never heard of that @Former-Member think have to declare income, and they probs cut you off in the end in some way or another if work too much

not the same, but was told by DES job place that if I had worked more than a certain amount of hours over a certain period of time , then I was no longer eligible for their 'help''..

maybe best to tell them if you are on it or see what the status quo is.

May not be pension to go back to unless you are still getting it. dunno. best to ask/tell as problem will get bigger.

Depends what you want to do.

Might be hard to get back on it now.

there's always jobseeker I guess. its slowly catching up re $ just need to keep job peeps off your case tho, plus if reverts to new application , cant have over $5k in bank

.. need to talk to someone I think ..

very strange day @Meowmy nap most of morning after got up early but very restless, seemed awake sort off. Mother was hassling me about something trivial.not really like her. plus she's dead. lol.

I should get some sun

• get another heater before tonight
• get newspapers
• get decent food
• do letter to stupid overseas court

.....

okay, hope 2nd job goes okay , think have to get dressed and go do stuff lol

@TAB 100% recall Centrelink lady over the phone said “you can always come back to this if work doesn’t work out”!

but 2 years only. I need to revisit the rules and such for being on dsp again.

But yeah need to get the app pretty much, and lodge my hours, might go toDES and get any job see how it goes

.. I appreciate that re what someone said over the phone @Former-Member have had similar thing with me telling Cenno what they told me and they're like No we dont do that..

so yeah, best check out what is happening.

dunno re app, sounds like you are on dsp? if not on it, it wont let you do anything. best to talk to someone maybe

dont you want to keep doing the job you are doing ?

anyway , back in a few hours, have to go and do stuff was going to to de earlier lol
