So get this: Last year I filed my taxes and they held some money back to pay the government. This year when I did my taxes, I had to pay $90 to revenscrew Canada for something that should have been paid last year. What to do, what to do? Well, I head down to the place that handled my things(no, not those things, my taxes) last year only to find out that everything in their files is correct and so the problem lies with the government.(don't it always?) So now I'm out twice what I should be, and I'm so desperate for cash that I'm signing up for focus groups on smokers.
I attended one of these before and they paid me $30 and gave me four packs of smokes. My buddy Kerry, who came with me, didn't really smoke and gave me his cigarettes. (He just wanted the money) This time around they're offering $50-$100 for an hour or two. which mostly involves listening to propaganda and filling out a questionaire. Easy work, easier money. Hell, if I can get into a couple of these things a month, I might not need to get a real job. Wouldn't that be fucked?
The madness is simple. When you spend most of your time alone in an apartment, drinking coffee and smoking too many cigarettes, you tend to go a little shack happy. It probably wouldn't be so bad if I could watch t.v. to numb my mind, but I don't have cable.
Another way around this would be to go out and wreck havoc, but without any money, there is no mayhem, so I suppose that part of the title is false. Shit. Well, I can't be expected to be right all the time. I am going mad after all.
