A Close Shave

[jazzy_dave]

Had my JSA assessment done, signed on and signing on again in two weeks time,the 10th to be precise. Then afterward, i popped into The Quays to have my shower, a clean shave etc. Nab, did i feel better after that.

Just hope i will not have to wait too long for any money from them , although i guess it might be the following week after the next sign on. At least it is done now.

At ;least you are in the system and it's good to have somewhere to shower/shave /do laundry but I so hope that you'll soon be settled

Nothing seems to come easily, but you are passing one hurdle after another. I hope things improve for you soon.

I guess it's always one baby step at a time and sometimes a couple of stumbles backward. But you are finding options and assistance, and I wish you Better Fortune in working through it all.

What a relief to have a nice shower and shave I am sure! Maybe this is the first step in some things turning around for you. Sending you continued good thoughts Dave!

That is so good that you can have a shower and a shave at The Quays.

Still don't know what a JSA is. But that's good that you are now signed on. I guess the 10th can't come soon enough!

Here people can have a shower and I guess shave, too, as there are toilets, basins and mirrors and also do their washing plus have some free computer time at the Neighbourhood Centre. They can also give you food for two or three days and have swags to give out. Good on all the people who run it and make donations to it. And the people who worked tirelessly to get govt funding to get the building built. Before that they had to rent a place and before that they were in the Girl Guides Hut where they also paid rent. I did a volunteer stint there in my late forties to give back to society a bit.

I'm guessing it stands for Job Search Allowance, which was what we called the dole here for a while. (In between Unemployment Benefit and Newstart Allowance).

Oh, thank you for your explanation, splodgenoodles!

Almost right - JSA is Job Seekers Alowance

Well, I'm glad you are getting it - or will do :)
