T-T-T-Today JUNIOR!!!

Many of you may not know me, some do and may not know me...but as of the end of October I have been unemployed. I was formerly a "roof truss builder", whats that you may ask? The shittiest job I've EVER had! I swung a hammer for 8 hours a day at these shiny metal plates mashing them into lumber, then finished it off with a 2 ton press. But thats not why I'm "venting". I've taken this opportunity to reflect on where the hell my life is going and what direction I want to take. I have come up with a job, that I would enjoy and that I have no doubts will be a heavily needed possition to fill in the future. No I'm not talking about a porn fluffer, I am looking at becoming a Transport Truck Driver. I have done the research (talking to company's/other drivers) and I feel I would enjoy doing this until I'm to old to get up to use the toilet. NOW heres my problem. I have been on Unemployment (welfare for you Americans) since November, and I'm looking for financial support in getting my AZ license and taking a 3 month course for this career. The cost....$6000. Unemployment has said "yes, we will help you, but....." here's where I get the shocker without the decency of a dinner first. "You must take several courses on figuring out what your skills and attributes are. You must do a comprehensive research on the industry and what it will be like years from now. You need to prove to us that this is truly the direction you want to take.....It will be around 3 months before we will let you know if we will provide you with the money."

Three months.....Three more fucking months of welfare.....Let me explain to you all why I think this is borderline retarded. Every two weeks the Canadian Govt. is kind enough to send me $725. Let me open up yee ole Windows Calculator...I get paid twice a month, times 3 months....725 X 6 = 4350. Now lets say they say "yap hurrs yer monies" 4350 + 6000 = $10350. Now Im in my course for 3 months 10350 + 4350 = I have taken $14700 by the time I finally get back to work. So...why the fuck dont they just give me the money THAT I HAVE PAID INTO FOR THE LAST 9 YEARS now, and save the Canadian Govt, and tax payer $4350. They have me seeing a "career counselor" and I told him this equation and he said "hehehe yeah it's retarded, but thats the system" And they wonder why people stay on pogey so long?
