Just BEreave(ment)... A modern guide to indifferent bureaucracy in the face of grief

So, choose your own major (milestone) misadventure:

Please choose between the following inevitable crises: 

  • GUILTY HEIRESS
  • CRAZY CAT KEEPER
  • SIBLING RIVALRY (on crack - metaphorically)
  • HOME MAINTENANCE 
  • THE WEIGHT OF LEGACY
  • SURVIVOR GUILT
  • STATE LINES (AND WHY THIS MEANS MY PROFESSIONAL CAPACITY HAS BEEN INS ERIOSU DOUBT FOR A YEAR)

So, interwebers: here's the pitch for my online dark sitcom/reality series that exposes the cutting edge of bureaucratic fat-cats in the face of the worst, unprecedented time in adult life:

Orphaned....single....child-less....with sister (as attached)

Must LOVE cats.

Oi. As I type this statement I am doubled over in cringe-mode: I am 40 years old; recently orpahned and currently single. I spent the remianing years in my 30s under the worst lockdown conditions of the world. Literally. Now I am a bogan millionaire-ess...almost.

I have had to deal with:

- Ignorance and disgust from so-called "Beareavement Supporte(ers)" that govern such major bodies as the ATO; AusPost and major bank, NAB

- Jumping through Abstract Reasoning testing and a mandated completion of an online learning module for "Fraud and Corruption in NSW Education" ... Like, seriously, WT absolute FFFFFFF????!!! I have been a highly cpaable yteacher for ten years in - wait for it - Victoria. Like, the state.

- Four Burmese cats - 3 male, 1 gal - with issues of superirority and entitlement that plays out like the Hunger Games....

A Modern Idiot Gal's Guide to Probate and Deceased Estate!!! #woot One of the best things about my mother was tnat she stood truly affixed to strong and vocal convictions. I think maybe becuase she appeared so little and non threatening, she was able to further dress down a dressed down registrar. She happily referred to tattoos as "common" and would disown me were I to acquire one. What she would make of this whole entire fiasco! is what is keeping me breathing. She would not, however, have accepted the Partner's Daughter playing Probate Lawyer in a dress that amazingly managed to expose both chunks of cleavage and a whole hunk of arm flesh that told us "we couldn't afford her service sto cancel, likkke, your mum's umm Netflix???!!"

Name and Shame Time! #1 - NAB

No need to guess who: in fact, I should sue! QUICK DISCLAIMER: I like to think of myself as most Google reviewers I imagine do: on a crusade to right the community of customer service wrongs. Like, I found this guy who was ranting and raving that his five-star chicken from Henny Penny also came with a 1-star atmosphere, as said curmudgeon rocks up 4 minutes before closing and demands they go kill him up a fresh chicken with some lovely ambient lighting to boast. what a hero. The circumstances in which I am going to detail the complete ineptitude of others who, essentially, are making a living off this death.  As a teacher, I complete some of the more ridiculous mandated learning modules, which in theory is to improve on my professional dealings. This is especially true when it comes to responding to trauma I might have actally felt bad for blatent idneitifers if not for the fact that they have either no idea what to do or have pretty much established I murdered my mother for her...
