PIP assessment

[cosmolinguist]

I knew it'd be awful but the PIP assessment was really awful.

I've mostly had nice assessors in the past, which helps as much as anything can. But this one wasn't doing a good job of hiding her glee at her petty power over me. Mean-girl vibes.

When we told V we were having coffee and cake afterward, they expressed their approval and said they'd hoped I would be. I said I learned this from them the first time I had one of these fucking assessments and they went along with me: they had to buy me the cake after that because I was too poor to do it myself, so I remember it.

V replied: "They will not be allowed to take away our joy." Damn right.

Hooray for treating yourself after having to deal with a petty tyrant, probably hired into the position specifically for their desire to be a petty tyrant.

Here's hoping the assessment means you get everything you're supposed to and no further fighting DWP.

Weirdly, I accidentally answered a call from an 800 number today and it was someone telling me I need to have a phone call with them for some more information! I have never had this happen before. So on Monday afternoon I'll figure out what that's about I guess...
