Dear Holly,I recently joined a government ‘Back to
Work’ programme which was intended to stop me claiming benefits and
start actually being a productive member of society, whatever that
means. I was under the impression that this would be a positive step
forward for me, but it turns out that not only am I expected to
actually get out of bed and get dressed in the morning, I am also
supposed to do things, like carry bits of paper from one room to
another, or sit in a room with other people and talk about the next
time we will be sitting in a room talking to one another. The whole
affair is really starting to stress me out and I think I might have
to sign off on the sick. What is your advice on this troubling
matter?IvanLondon
