I was vaguely surprised to find a whole heap of mail for me today. Though I knew this would turn out to be bad news in the end. Looking through the return addresses scared me. In the end, the mail included:
- Two letters from the DSS
- One letter informing me of the previous year's tax position, for some reason
- One asking me to clarify my reasons for leaving employment - it's not going to be fun to fill in - asking lots and lots of reasons why i left, and whether I tried to rectify the situation that caused me to leave and so on and so forth.
- A package with no return address
- Turns out to be a CD from David, was very surprised. Many many Adrian Sherwood tracks. Thank you! Haven't listened to it yet but the track listing alone looks promising.
- A letter from the bank
- This letter is only informing me how over-overdrawn I am, they're about a month late in sending it though. They normally send it a few days after going over the limit.
- A Letter from Safeway's
- Informing me that applications for the IT grad scheme are closed, even though on their website it says that they accept applications all year round. Hmmm.
- A letter from O2
- Asking me to send away a Direct Debit form that shoulda been done at registration. Nice of the guy on the registration phone-line to tell me!
- The information I requested from ICS (Distance Learning company)
- Information on MCSEs and MCPs and various MS Qualifications. Damn these things are expensive. Even as a distance learning course you're looking at over £1,000.
Can today get better? Probably not... I was going to *sigh* there, but nope. There's nothing too hard to handle. No matter how overwhelming and depressing it all is right now. Just work at it.
