Day -95

I visited labour force bureau today as I need “työvoimapoliittisen lausunnon” (statement for me being available for the job market or something) to claim unemployment  allowance (comes to the effect in the summer, if still unemployed).

I was told not belonging to “priority club” yet (not sure what are the requirements, but I might have a chance for the membership, if unemployed long enough ?), thus I can’t make appointment in advance, but I need to wait for the next available clerk to take me in. Like in our health care system, where people are treated first-in first-out basis.  The main difference is that doctors give you medicine to recover, but these clerks do not give you a job to walk out with.  But the waiting time is equal, two hours they claimed, but I walked out after 15 seconds.. Maybe some other time.
