Life is a bitch and then there are the beggars

Living in South Africa is wonderful.

Only in South Africa can you be insulted by beggars at the traffic lights.

If these beggars actually did something constructive I might give them something.  But all they do is stand there and say "Gimme."

Most of them make more money than I do  and I work hard for the little I do make.

I cannot find a job (according to prospective employers) because:

a) I am white
b) I am old (at 58)
c) I am female
d)  and one little employment "consultant" had the cheek to tell me I am too fat.

So I work doing deliveries and taxiing people around. I also teach people to use computers.

I am now so deep in debt that I am on the verge of being evicted.
