Crap Feathers
Oh the joys of dealing with bureaucracy... Not!
A Govt. Dept. has sent a form. One of the things they ask is how nuch do we expect to earn next year. Next year? *Rubs crystal ball* I mean really!! They will next be asking me if I expect to be still living next year!

Mr. Lixy could answer that questionaire with a profound certainty. He always gets the same raise, the same time, every year. No surprises! I would have a harder time with it cause I never know the "mood" of the company I work for.
Do they say what'll happen to you if you are off by a few cents one way or the other? Are fingers and toes mentioned? LOL!
Oh Geezzzzzzz! What will they ask next? Are potty questions off limits?
OK...I'm going now!

Folks, the Australian Dole office requires you to tell them how much you'll earn on a
fortnightly basis (as a casual) before you've earned it in order for them to work out
the amount of income supplement you are entitled to. Error is punished severely.

I am not on the dole and they want to know how much the person I care for is going to get next year. I am on what is called a carers payment. The Govt. pays me to take care of my aged mother. If she was in a nursing home they would have to pay 6 people to take care of her.

They may erode our liberties, but they will never take our plungers!
