I always thought that should i ever need to find a job, i would pick a company i like the look of, offer my services for free whilst being paid by winz or some such arrangement until they basically needed me to do what i was doing. prolly nver happen like that...meh

although i do know of one young man in australia to do that. he runs their accounts now.

im so glad this forum isnt full of nazi dole bludger haters though, colour me surprised.

am also flabbergated at the money the govt has poured into 'community' groups thats just been blown wide open...wowsers.

i slipped onto the dole during labour reign and their 'PACE' program (artists benefit), twas on it for four years, though i did complete three fairly solid business courses to get the start-up bizzo grant, (had to apply twice), which prolly learnt me a bit, AND LOOK AT ME NOW! careening from crisis to crisis for the last four years!!!!!

aint been back on the bene tho..

reckon four years of benefit is equivalent to what i now owe in student loan fees, so i think the govt and i are square.

Wow, I just lay down to have a nap, and slept solidly for 13 hours.

Woke up, and thought my clock was set 12 hours off.

Goddamn.

No it isn't, you should check out my Minecraft world. The only difficult thing is staying away from the creepers.

The best thing about Finance Minister Bill English\'s latest Budget is that it does finally signal a much greater role for the private sector in the New Zealand economy. And another step along the way to extract this country from the political cul-de-sac in which Helen Clark\'s Labour Government parked us.

lol at above posts.

Do you guys remember "Funny Business" on the tele over 10 years ago, that used to have the long running  gag with the PC pastor who had a mate called Hori. every skit had a gag like " what's the story, Hori" or "you better go to the lavatory , Hori", "it's mandatory, Hori" etc.

Best long running gag skits ever

Yeap.


Auntie is in the same situation as Rii, applied for the dole whilst looking for a job, so she can simply survive.

I see that as fine.

Whereas choosing it as a lifestyle, :(
