Time to admit defeat in the workplace?

I know about paperwork sliding in to cracks. Dad applied 3 weeks ago for rent assistance which he is entitled to. We went in to chase that up and there was nothing lodged. We had kept a photocopy of the original form. The Centrelink lady this time rang up the powers that be and did a copy of the copy and put it in an express post bag while we sat there. Hopefully some wheels are slowly turning?

Sorry for such a rant the other night. I just hadn't realised I don't have much hope of ever being able to do the things I used to or get a job. From the pinnacle of my success in speaking about property investing at seminars and being on TV about it to sitting at home doing nothing much apart from face book and jigsaw puzzles its like a rooster one day and a feather duster the next. I was just feeling sorry for myself. I'll get used to my new life I guess. I doubt I could ever renovate a house again, my arm just cannot work like it used to without swelling consequences. Early retirement is not as easy as its made out to be.

I will keep you all posted on how we go with the Centrelink merry go round. Perhaps it might help others in a similar situation?
