HeY all you guys

This here's the 70 yr old Alien Aussie who's fed up sloshing around in
the doldrums, waiting on our "wonderful" Bureaucratic Health and
Social Security Systems to make up their minds on a couple of simple
issues.

I've been going "stir crazy", looking in the empty mailbox and
listening for the phone call that never happens.

So I'm going back to work on Monday, 29 Aug. and to hell with them.

What's the betting, I'll get the call from the Uro to do another TURP,
plus advice from CentreLink, (our Social Security office), they'll
finally give me the Aged Pension the very day I return?

I'm not peeing 100% as yet, but can get thru the days and nights
without alarm.

hi clarence - you watch..... as soon as you go back to work, they will
set up your appts so that you will have to take time off from work in
order to meet them, which would give the people at work - reason to let
you go and put you back at block one. an empty mail box and no phone
calls.

One out of two!!

No Uro's appointment, but I finally got a PART pension granted PM
Friday. (the concession card/s alone are worth it.) As time goes by,
I'll be scaling back on the work and working toward a FULL pension.
(I'm goal oriented lol)

I followed up on the Uro's appointment same day, and was told the
registrar has been so busy he hasn't had time to shuffle the
priorities, and worst case scenario, I would have to self-catheterise
if I got blockage whilst waiting for the appt!

Curtis, I'm a consultant cost estimator in construction, mining and
energy industries, with my own software systems embedded in my
Clients' works, so they need me, more so now that the skills shortage
bites down hard on the economy. So I figure a few days/week will be
easy to accomplish without them getting ornery ;)

So work on Monday still stands.

Hmm...that's the interpretation of Steve Kramer's sign off (ex some US
General???)

Plan/plans .... if one fails another one pops up as a fallback :)
