I am quite a strong believer that dreams have meanings and perhaps can predict the future (in it's meaning not content). I had two dreams last month that turned out to be true. The first was a car accident where I was seriously hurt while the driver was unharmed. And yes, this person has hurt me over the last month. The second dream was us crying at the train station and me leaving. I took it as I'll never see the same person again. Yes, this person has changed and I'm not happy.

Now I had a dream where I think I'll be powerless of the event. Also something will coming to me. Throughout this long dream, numerous times something was coming to me ["she is coming", "The helicopter will arrive here in 20 minutes" etc]. It was always spoken out.

What freaked me out though was the end of the dream. A guy showed my his mobile with a picture of a man, the the guy holding the phone was staring evily at me. And I was frozen still could not move. And so, you think you're about to die in a dream... you wake up. And I did. Believe me I was awake now. But still, I literally could not move. I would try to move my arm, but it was so hard, it would move slowly. I would stop and it would move back without my control. I close my eyes and I still see the guy holding the phone. i open my eyes and I still can't move anything. But I feel my eyes closing... I force my self out of this. And then i was relieved of it. I was awake for this, I was in the same frame of mind of being awake. It freaked me out.

It's scary that my dreams were coming true. A lot of little things happened in my last dream, so I wrote every last detail of that dream down. Seriously I am freaked out by my dreams right now because it is always one step ahead of my life. I want things resolved sooner rather then later.

Having to replace the tyres on my car. Feels like I'm spending money on nothing. Although I did let them wear down to an appalling state.

Idiots who abuse you on youtube simply for having a different opinion.

I was abused for saying that I hated a game.Ok so I used some harsh words to show that I hated the game, I didn't abuse anyone else for liking the game.The worst thing is that the abuser was 26 freaking years old.

[RAMPAGE]

[Gamesta]

Well abuse probably isn't the best word to use.

Me - OMG this game.A few years back my friend brang over this game because his friend hated it so he gave it to him.I put it in and it was the worst ******* piece of **** I ever played.

Him - go play crysis kiddie nerd.


Now why does hating the game make me a kiddie nerd? Ok so I didn't say it in a very mature manner but nowhere did I talk crap about those who like the game.

Also youtube isn't a forum where people are there to make conversation with others on a topic (unless it's through your profile).Youtube is for watching video's and then letting your opinion on the video or what the video is about, be known.If I intended on having a conversation then I would have stated the reasons I hate the game.

Now if I were to say that those who like the game suck, then I could understand him replying with what he did.

[Aftershock]

Dude, it's the intertron.

CARE LESS. In fact, apply that to all kinds of things that piss you off and life becomes much easier.

Discovering that my brother has gotten both the $950 student stimulus payout and the $900 normal one. Yet he still manages to weasel his way out of paying board, contributing to petrol money etc. Actually come to think of it he got another $1000 pay out at the end of last year as part of that student boost thing the government did. WTF?

I hate the Australian welfare system. Having studied it recently and written a paper on it, and experienced the way payments do (and don't) get dished out, I despise it.

My rant isn't based on a belief that I should be getting it, as although I'm an unemployed student, I know I'm lucky enough to be living at home with only my personal expenses to pay. My issue is that there are a lot of people (many of my friends included) that receive welfare and bonuses (it's the student one I have a problem with) that definitely do not need it. There are then a hell of a lot of others in Australia that do need welfare support but don't get it because that money is used to sure up the financial health of the voting majority; the "Aussie battler" and the "working family".

^Spanca what annoys me is it assumes you're an asshole, and pretty much makes you be a minimum effort person as a result. to save money, you only get intervention, assistance and training after 3 months, and it's all enforced/punishment orientated. many people like myself would like personal help from the start rather than dithering or trying to less effect for ages, with un-edited resumes/approach/understanding of the market, and motivation and esteem levels dropping. and in the end, getting people out there in work quickly as would be more worth it than the wage savings on centrelink.

so, whats been pissin me off:
i've been dodging the financial stimulus package thread for weeks now, because i don't wanna look at what i'm not gonna get. In the one year i'm not either at uni or working my ass off. Sometimes just bugs me because i see it, and then the money to other cfa people, and last years handouts, get blown and i really use money carefully and piecemeal. i also just have a bad feeling i'll miss the cfa one too. Whats harder though, is watching other low-income friends i know miss out. people scrapeing by for rent and food, they need it far more.

heh, and while missing out i have that voice in my head from the simpsons episode where scratchy gets itchy and the kids are horrified to miss it, just krusty with his laugh and yelling "wow, They'll NEVER let us do that again!"

My centrelink moment came when i moved to perth, i broke up with my girfriend at the time (who is still one of my closest friends).

Went to centrelink told them truthfully what had happened and that i still lived with her as mates (we didn't know many people in Perth at the time) they said jog on ****.
I said so essentially you want me to hate my ex girlfriend for no reason (i am friends with pretty much all my ex girlfriends, i have no time for petty break up hate) and move out leaving her in a spot of bother because we are both new to Perth. He said yes, i said stick your **** centrelink up your arse then and went and found someone willing to say i lived at their house otherwise i got nothing, good way to start in a new city, so they make you into a criminal, kudos to that system, it's boss, wankers. Did that for a month, got a job and have never been into one of those backwards cesspools of idiots ever since.
**** trying to make you hate you friends for that pittance is and was outrageous to me.

One of the major things I've noticed is that there just isn't the right sort of government support for generation Y's in terms of finding a job. Sure, you've got Centrelink and all these job agencies, but in reality the government does **** all nothing.

I've been unemployed and actively looking for work for over a year now (two years if you count my year at TAFE when I was looking on/off). The thing I've found is employers are looking for people who are either young (thus they only have to pay minimum wage) and people who have experience. Now, I realise many of you get experience through schooling, but not everyone has that to back them up. I for example went to TAFE, but due to falling into a minor depressing in the aftermath of my grandmother's death, some health scares (I experienced chest pains which at the time I was very concerned about... turns out it was linked to stress) and realising the path I was heading down was simply not for me, I left. I used to kick myself on that fact, but I've come to understand over time there are plenty of other people who are in similar situations to me, and that I did at least make an attempt at further education. Whatever happens, happens for a reason. I learnt some new things about myself, took my next steps into adulthood, and found out what the world was truly like.

My one regret was that I followed my mind and did further study. Had I followed my heart and ignored my father's idiotic comments (he himself admits he was wrong), I would have joined my old friends and entered the work force straight away after high school. I'm not sure if I'll ever do further education. TAFE left a bitter taste in my mouth the last time, and I simply have no idea what path I'd like to take anymore.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand. I think the government just doesn't do enough to actually support people in finding work. I haven't gone on the dole, but I am aware of some of the **** people have to put up with. In relation to my experiences, I did once apply for a government funded program which was designed to find work for people aged 20-29. The idea was you told them what you wanted to do, and they would find you a job in that role. Sadly, funding only permitted 30 successful applicants, and there was about three or four times that which applied for it. In my interview, I knew right away I wouldn't get it.

While they seemed enlightened by my positive attitude towards it, they were concerned over the fact I was 19. That just pissed me off greatly when I was eventually knocked back. I told them the truth that I was 19 but was turning 20 (the min. age requirement) in a few weeks. It was like a slap in the face. "Sorry, you're good and all but you're too young to be considered for this role". That was the message I got, and that is why I am very untrusting towards the government.

They hand out these stimulus packages to people, but the money could be better spent elsewhere. Why only 30 individuals? Surely they could boost this number had there been more funding. They keep saying Australia has a skills shortage, but when it comes down to training people most employers don't want to spend the time or money doing so. There's no balance, and eventually when the aged workers retire who are going to replace them? Who will they have passed their skills and knowledge on to?

I'll say right now I know my ideals and experiences don't reflect everyone or everything. It is a personal barrier of sorts that I've found I need to overcome, and that is why I take pride in volunteering at the community centre once a fortnight. I gain experience at that place. They took me in when no one else did, and for that I am thankful. What I want though is something more. Something that pays, and something people won't look down on me for (I have had people turn their noses up at me, the arrogant fools). I'm aware I'm not completely exhausting all possible options, but in reality it is I that must overcome this under my own terms. I realise this, and a few of my friends who are going through similar troubles realise this as well. We often joke we have a knack for seeing and knowing what’s wrong, but lack the will or the inspiration to do anything about it.

I actually had a break down last Thursday. I’m not sure what went wrong with me, but I got so aggravated at everything that I snapped and completely lost it. I managed to calm myself down with a day of shopping and a nice quiet afternoon/night watching movies. It was a wake up call for me that I need to break my routine and tackle my problems with a new strategy. And a new strategy I have already formulated, but for now, I have decided to take it easy for the next week or two. I can’t continue kicking myself over these petty matters. I have a lot to live for and a lot I should be proud of, and so now I shall enjoy those things.

Annoyance one

I wont bore you all with the increasingly larger back story, but basically, the other manager at work and I have never gotten along. We work ok together cause we both want to get the job one, but we don't give each other the 'time of day' with convos etc.

So after a about a year of arguments and heated discussion, she becomes the general manger. At this stage, I know she is going to do everything she can to get rid of me, and as i am a uni student and unable to work copious hours, she gives me the bare minimum. firstly starts off at four shifts, then three, and now i was on one shift a week. living off 70 bucks a week is FUN!!!

the past few weeks i have been doing everything i can to make sure i keep my job, and yet she leaves me notes, doesn't call me or tell me in person, leaves notes, saying i need to pick up my act etc to which she doesn't give any feedback or explanations.

and then last thursday, i go into work and count the money in the morning as per what im supposed to do and i hear the back door open. i think it odd but i know the day person im working with has a back door key so i dont think much of it, then it turns out its her and her gf.

the stand opposite ends to me, placing me in the middle of them and she begins to talk to me really flustered and what not. she asks if ive seen the roster and i said yeah, and curious as to why my name wasnt on it. she says that as of today i will no longer be working there.

Im in complete shock! i had no idea what to say. so i asked her why. she said its because im am a vandal, and have no work or personal standards! i was so mad when she said that!!! i asked her what she meant by vandalism and apparently according to her, i like to write over everything and tag and what not. i havent done that sort of stuff since high school and i only ever wrote in my books, so that was complete ****, then she said that i wasted a box of gloves. i laughed at her for this. one of the other girls and i play jokes on each other all the time, so i got her back by cutting the top of the middle finger off 5 gloves that i knew she would use that day. now we have boxes and boxes of gloves out the back, so i figured, whats five, honestly. yeah its a waste, but i mean come on, its five gloves.

my standards are apparently my inability to make decent dough, which is a crock cause the head CER (champs excellence review - basically comes to the store and checks on everything) said i had excellent dough! and they rarely give out comments like that as they like to pin people for everything and everything.

so, four days before my b'day, the person one person who absolutely hates me, decides to fire me for no real reason what so ever. no warnings, nothing. just cya.

and cause i was only on 70 bucks a week, i had to dip into my savings to pay for things. rent/board alone is 100. woot. guess who will be selling lots in the forums

so thats that sob story lol


Annoyance two

The girl friend. Now let me elaborate a little. the thing that is annoying me the most atm (yes there are a few things but one thing at a time) is her annoyance towards my talking to a girl over msn. Now ive known her (renee) for a lot longer than ive known my gf, and while ive known her for such a long period, we have never discussed overly personal stuff, have not met in person and we both have partner. we both just like to chat about stuff every now and then, discuss things like music, politics, current news events etc. i really dont understand why she doesn't like me talking to her. and as its her problem to me, i think she should be the one to come to me and discuss it, but no, i'm the one who has to ask her about it.

i guess i would understand if i was the type of guy to notice other girls when we are out, but honestly (and this was insanely hilarious) my gf and i were out, i cant remember where but as we are walking together, i stop talking to her and notice this 1300R Hayabusa parking, and as i do, i walk into a pole. oh how i felt like a tool. she thought i was looking at some chick across the road then noticed what i was actually looking at when i told her all the mods that had been done to it. she just laughed.

hence my inability to understand why she would be annoyed with me talking to a girl over the net.

Annoyance Three

american spell check!!

im going to spell it organised, not organized thank you. Among other things!

I got a job, but it wasn't through the job agency I was with when I was on Centrelink, and I told them as much. They wanted me to write down that they had found the job for me so they could continue getting dollars from the Government. All they did was take a look at my resume and explain to me how 'looking for a job' works. And they get paid to do that. It's right up there with game show hosts as the most uselessly overpaid professions. We pay Nurses less than thirty dollars an hour to look after people who are dying and whatnot, yet we pay these guys a ridiculous sum to do nothing.

Being slugged an overdrawn fee because of Xbox Live's Automatic renewal. I tried to turn it off online, but it turns out that you can't! You can't even remove your CC details! You've gotta ring them. What sort of horse **** is that?
