Through the trees...
Really lucked out with this shot.

Not going to be here between today and Monday, heading out to an outdoor centre. Hopefully, that'll be fun!

More fun I hope than the Pathways to Work interview this morning, or the ESA medical assessment on the 20th, I'm sure.

Not a happy camper. [Oct. 14th, 2009|03:34 pm]
[mood | crappy]

Today appears to be one of those mentally/emotionally shakier-than-normal days. Wonderful.

Other that, not much happening right now. Haven't much money, else I'd be visiting friends more. Need to do something to get out of the house, though...

Feel like I'm losing the will to live, here. Really tired of struggling with my mental state.

ESA backpayment has gone in. Now I have to deal with the sicknote situation...

ESA stupidity. [Sep. 12th, 2009|10:29 pm]

[mood | aggravated]

Got myself two letters about ESA. One to tell me I'll be getting £64.30 per week as of 8th June, and another to tell me that I need to send another sicknote in by the 10th otherwise my claim will be suspended. Both are dated the 9th, both I received today. So the good thing is I should be getting around £750 backpayments. The bad news is I might not get them until I can sort out the sick note stupidity.

So, how did that meeting go? [Aug. 21st, 2009|03:04 pm]
[Tags|, , , ]

It seemed to be reasonably productive. On the personal/former job front, at least. The manager seemed pretty apologetic for the way in which the shit hit the fan back in May, and wanted me to be involved in similar meetings in the future. I'm just glad the line manager wasn't there, otherwise it'd have been a lot more arkward (and less open or productive for me, quite likely). Also, they're going to be looking at the job specs, so hopefully the next guy they get doing that job won't have as crap a time as I did (on that front, at least).

Whether or not anything it does anything useful in terms of local provision for people on the Autistic spectrum (which, by the way, is now being referred to as ASC, for Autistic Spectrum Condition) will be remaining to be seen. I can only hope so.

Not feeling too great right now. [Aug. 15th, 2009|04:28 pm]

Not entirely sure why. This seems to be all too familiar...

Recent government efforts to address the support issue for people on the Autistic spectrum (including Aspergers Syndrome) mean that local-level consultations are taking place, involving people with Aspergers Syndrome and Autism.

I've found myself invited to one. I've (provisionally) accepted the invite, but there is one problem. It's being run by my former employers.

Unsurprisingly, this is a big negative.

The only reason I'm interested in attending at all is the possibility of giving input to this consultation. It doesn't sound like the person who I've got issues with is going to be involved with it either. My former co-worker who spoke to me (obviously, not the one with issues concerning me) about it was actually quite friendly.

So we shall see.

This is related to what I've been asked to do.

It seems Blue might have a problem with his gums. He was given a shot of antibiotics, going to keep an eye on him the next couple of days.

Blue has been dribbling from his mouth, and let mum get near him (he doesn't usually like her). So we're taking him to the vets...

Hey, IM users, a question? [Jul. 26th, 2009|04:57 pm]
[Tags|, , , , , , ]
[mood | curious]

Do you ever speak aloud what you type to other people?

[mood |bemused]

So my former place of work has just sent me an invite to a disco they're running.

WTF?

After what happened? Would I go?

FUCK, NO!

Even if I was crazy enough to want to go, there'd be at least one person there who would make it an extremely unpleasant experience.

Feeling rather lethargic right now. And I don't think shaking in terror is a good thing while you're going shopping, either...

Today I go to find out the results of the blood test (I doubt they'll show anything significant), and to try and get the doc to give me the stuff needed for an ESA claim...

[mood | sick]

This cold is knocking the crap out of me. My head hurts, my sinuses hurt, my nose is either blocked or running and I generally feel like shit. Coughing and wheezing isn't helping either.

Great.

Past few days I've been experiencing pain on one side of my head - sometimes it shoots across my forehead. So I told the doc about this. Got a blood test in seven days... with both a phobia and a hypersensitivity of needles, that promises to be a bundle of laughs.
