Lucky me, I was given the opportunity to go on the dole recently for a couple of weeks.
During my interview with them they wanted to know why I was opting to work for only three days a week.
Of course the answer was because of my mental health issues and the medication I take which tends to bollocks up my body clock, energy and concentration span.
The next question however truly floored me.
So Mr C……… are you often bed-ridden?
Well, before I had taken time to ponder the impertinence of such a question, I realised I had already answered.
“It does happen of course, although I have to admit I can be a bit partial to a dollop of spontaneity over the kitchen table”
Afterwards I did wonder what kind of work they were going to shovel my way? …….. none as it happens!
