Because I moved and a prolongation of my social pay was due last month, the social dept. fucked up regarding my social pay. seems like despite the fact they have an online system, too- something happened to my file on its way from one district to the other. Resulting in two more weeks more waiting time until I get the money (at least the part that is being paid out by the job center- unemployment pay). Plus last month saw a medical bill to be paid and a deposit. Impossible inclusive a bank rate, when you get 500 Notstandshilfe and 273 Social pay.
A financial desaster. So I went to the Caritas at St. Stephen's cathedral, waited patiently for 1,5 hours for a 5 Euro shopping voucher for food. I comforted whoever was around emotionally- it seemed necessary though was unpleasant. I realized Toni Faber was back from holiday (I spotted him once) and pondered talking to him about a possible performance idea and a photo together (for the press). I thought the idea was pretty cool. :)
In the meantime, the others were given money (they do that as well, in some cases- and it is very often given to people so instable they know they won't use it to clear their debts times over)- and when it was on me..I told Ms Auersberg (the woman in charge) my pay had been prolonged that I had a medical bill to pay for (or transport to the burnout clinic and one bottle of medicine), had had to pay a deposit the month before, was in further education and amidst a burnout. Normally, obviously someone with a degree wouldnt even be seen in places like these.
She told me straight away: "Go and work". I was flabbergasted. Hadn't she HEARD??? I mean, like..burnout, in further education (so busy during the week!), it's a one off thing and a voucher they have plenty and get for free????????????????!!!!!!!!!!????????????????
I then felt the urge to tell her that MY burnout was also due to excessive work- among it a lot of charity work aside my studies that I very often did not have enough energy for but felt was necessary (Rotary, SBZ, etc.).
This is what you get when you are good in Austria. This is what you get here. In the church. Pussy Riot, where are you? :D Seriously. Times like these I understand them.^^..even though I am friendly.
