Work, don't work: it's the same.

Dear Diary,

As per usual, I awoke, hungry, as happens on a daily basis. Instead of working a shift, while not being permitted to eat anything (working in a kitchen) nor even any scraps for the dog, I find myself throwing my entire wage packet at the rent, following the Court Case. The other Court Case (the Liability Order) hanging over me, threatens to take all my possessions. (I have nothing worth taking except tools for my work, or paintings). So, I checked my Tax Credits to see if they are in. They are not. So, I have no electricity (I've been on emergency for several weeks now, even sticking a tenner on the other day did virtually nothing) so cannot take a bath, wash my clothes, or eat anything hot (as the element draws the most power). I could of course, go on the dole. This would mean shame, from even frequenting such a place, and of course, everything I earned would be deducted, so whether you work, or don't work, you still receive the same amount of money.

Tomorrow I must go and sit in a windy piss covered alley, begging for change, just to avoid starvation, even though I am working.

I am not feeling particularly proud today.
