Just ignore it

We didn't get too much work done yesterday at the field.

Richard went straight to Newquay when I arrived in Lostwithiel, to meet with Peachy. I've no idea what's happening with him currently. He's basically stopped coming along to the project because of money issues. So currently, I'm the only one on the project (apart from Richard) who may end up getting paid for working there.

Obviously, Mom's asshole boyfriend doesn't believe for one second that I'll get a job out of it, and that Richard is just using me. I don't believe that. Sure, I may not get a job out of it if Richard can't get the funding for it, but he IS trying to help me out by getting me a job.

When I was talking to Richard yesterday about Sean's bitching on the 20th November, he bought up a very valid point about the whole thing. Usually when Sean lectures me about claiming unemployment, the conversation always ends up being about how it'll "fix" my life; how it'll help me instantly get a job, and all this other shit. It always ends with "Grow up and stop acting immature!". Richard's point about that was "So, in his retarded mind, growing up and maturing is as simple as claiming Job Seekers Allowance?" Yeah. Life isn't THAT simple.

Richard also suggested that if he thinks I'm immature and all, I should just act immature, just to piss Sean off. I probably won't, but it seems like a fun idea, especially if he starts to badly stress me out again. In fact, I don't think I even need to act immature to piss him off. It's worthless to argue with him because he's dense, so what I should do is just not answer him at all. Just sit there ignoring him completely if he starts lecturing me again. I'm sure that'll piss him off even more than me just acting immaturely.

As I was walking up the hill to get home yesterday, there was a white van parked right across the hill. From a distance, it didn't appear like I could get around it. There was a couple of guys there, as well as a cop. I've no idea what had happened, but the front end of the van was imbedded in the hedge. There was a sloped path behind the van, which I'm guessing is where the van was pulling out from before it somehow got wedged into the hedge. So, it was possible to get around the van by going up the path just a little. Lucky really. I was scared that I would have to walk all the way down the hill again and use one of the other hills to get home. That would've been a MAJOR pain in the ass if I did have to do that.

Anyway, the only reason he wants me to claim it, as I've mentioned several times before, is to give money to Mom. So yesterday, I handed Mom £10 I had in my pocket. Sure, that's £10 less for me to spend on food, and obviously, I'll have to do that every week but hopefully he'll get off my back about claiming Job Seekers Allowance. I seriously doubt it though.
