A DWP brown envelope turned up in the post yesterday, obviously timed for Saturday delivery, as usual, although it wasn't bad news, just a tax statement. It did leave me physically shaking for some time afterwards, though: just seeing those three initials really scares me now. It shouldn't really be this way, should it?

I'm afraid many of us now suffer from Brown Envelope Syndrome.

I dare say! Well this is the fifth Saturday to pass without the Dreaded Brown Envelope coming along to spoil my day, and each Saturday I get a little more nervous about whatever random response I'm going to get: though I know that even with the help I've received here and whatever other assistance I can muster, trying to figure out whether or not they decide I'll be staying in the SG... well I may as well roll a dice, considering their decisions are so arbitrary (for "usually bad" varieties of arbitrary).

Ugh. Well at least I can breathe easy(ish) for another week until next Saturday when I'll be on tenterhooks again. :/

And around comes another Saturday, and this one is indeed Brown Envelope Day. I've opened it.

It says Support Group.

I'm genuinely astonished, especially as they didn't even call me in for an interview. Thanks, guys, I seriously doubt if I could've done it without your guide: that form is a tricky thing to fill in correctly otherwise.

Now I'm off to have a good quiver for the rest of the day. :o
