UC and Job Centre irony:

-

 


I've needed some rest days and today I had a very interesting call from a pain support service my GP referred me to.

I'm waiting for an email about what they do and can offer me and since I've done everything up to this point alone and with little to no support, I hope I can find some helpful tips and tricks to help manage even better than I am on bad pain days and flare up days.

I don't understand this world as some people are so hypocritical and fake and preach things they don't believe in just for clout, but atleast the universe is removing people like that from my lane. That I can be thankful for at least.

I contacted my UC journal about rent changes as rent has gone up for everyone and thought I'd leave a message asking if they would be willing to help with seeking part time work as well as DurhamEnable. I got a very odd response.

I stated "I'm working with DurhamEnable to try and secure part time paid work but I'm struggling due to my dynamic disabilities and have been applying for work for three years. I'm wondering if the job centre could break down some of these accessibility barriers into work. I can work 16hrs a week depending on the work and flexibility/ hybrid /remote. I'd like support in investigating this further. Thank you."

They said "As you are on no work related requirements we do not need to have appointments with you. If you are working with Durham enable and you wish to speak to a work coach I can book you an appointment."

Which is what I already thought I'd asked for to be honest so had no choice but to reply:

"Thank you for confirming what I already know about appointments. My enquiry was to book one to see if I can be supported. Thanks."

And the government think this system is sufficient in helping people find work when the job centre is security guarded to F and they rarely take face to face appointments, not even mentioning some of the inappropriate conduct a female friend of mine had to endure from a male job centre employee as of late too.

This is the crazy reality we are stuck with and we have to fight tooth and nail for every single thing which is a shame.

If the job centre worker had read what I enquired about they wouldn't care that they don't 'HAVE TO' have appointments with me, they'd have acknowledged my request for one already and booked it!

Does no one want to do the jobs they're hired to do whilst people like myself pretty much beg for our skills to be acknowledged?!

It's a slap in the face if you ask me.

No one technically has to do anything, there is no need to do anything but if we want something we have to fight for it and that needs to change.

Isn't it ironic, don't you think? 🎵

A little too ironic...


Thanks as always for reading and supporting my little life journey.

Butterfly world Stockton and abused:

💔 Went to butterfly world left Bud in the car for forty minutes and it's cool in the car and the windows are all open. Dog is absolutely fine but the way India who works there spoke to us laughing at us and slagging us off triggered my autism in public. Just had an autistic meltdown cause people are accusing us of animal cruelty and overstepping unprofessionally and abusively so we've left. Total humiliation and false allegations man. There's a way to talk to people so we've left and gone home. She was openly telling other people that we are abusive and they were all laughing at me but how dare she. He has water and we were almost done cause we were not going to leave him long but it doesn't matter. People don't care they only care to act high and mighty with a ganging up mentality.  Getting members of the public involved is wrong and if she had bothered to put her hand in the car where it's cooler than outside and in the shade she would have realised she w...

Ramside Hall and Northern Housing Consortium:

I am excited to say that the event at Ramside Hall went spectacularly well, I attended with my best friend Corin and we had such a lovely time. I gave a wonderful speech as to how Northern Housing Consortium has helped me spectacularly with a bursary for my start up business www.magnoliaphotography.co.uk and I happily share the quoted speech I gave below:  " As a start-up business, I initially struggled to  meet the demands of contractual work. Creating art by finger painting on my phone screen was time-consuming, imprecise, and physically challenging. This made it difficult to meet my clients' expectations for detail and speed. Living with chronic pain and disabilities only added to these difficulties. When I learned through Livin Futures that Northern Housing Consortium was offering a start-up bursary, I immediately applied for a drawing tablet, hoping it could change the way I work. Receiving the bursary has been truly transformative. With my new drawing tablet, I can now ...

Cheers 😔 see: https://pgpandspd.blogspot.com/2024/06/hacked-stickers-betrayal-and-pride.html I got off the phone to Paul Howarth yesterday, whilst I'm with my son in public in a cafe, the ADM meet didn't go ahead, but we stayed anyway and my son encouraged me to merely enquire about the article and why my image was not printed, Paul stated it was a space issue but I explained he'd spliced images before and how much would it cost to get the photo in the paper so I can feel positively represented by my home town as a Newtonian since his only reason was the article was FREE, anyway he got rude and abruptly stated he does a LOT for ADM and it's ALL FREE and that he feels I'm being REALLY UNFAIR and hung u...
