Sorry, didn't mean to paint your situation in too-glaring colors. Just vicariously irritated that even in Europe the safety-net isn't as good as it could be.
We do too have disability benefit here! It just....really doesn't pay much ($8,386.75 a year, well below the national poverty line. How someone by definition too sick to work is supposed to make up the difference has never been clear). So, yeah. At least you're not in America.
Yay for all those strikethroughs! Have a great time at the conference.
And on a purely selfish level, omg lots of classics reviews! :-)
