I dunno if its this recent bout of manflu or what, but I am really feeling sorry for myself at the moment...

I wish I knew why.
 
...god. Fucking. DAMMIT.

Why can't things ever, EVER go right for me? Is it really too much to ask that I might have some good luck? I've become a human rabbit's foot. Everybody I associate with has great, fantastic, amazing stuff happen to or for them, and I'm getting bupkis. One of my best friends has reunited with the girl who worships the ground he walks on. An acquaintance has just been posted to New York on business for three months and, even though he's inside a transparent closet, leaves behind a girlfriend who is utterly gorgeous. A third has landed what she calls her dream job not one week ago.

I want something now. It's my turn.
 
Oh, and here's the kicker. My coworker holds the same position as I do. She is chronically ill. I haven't seen her once in the last weeks. She is not well, to put it lightly. In the time she's been off, I've been doing her work and mine and taking on additional responsibilities. I was on a casual contract. She was on a permanent contract. She has been retained. I have not. Explain how that's fair.

It's not. Abandon the notion of "fair", it does not exist, except in those rare instances where humans artificially create it.

Sorry about the job. That's no fun.
 
I once had a wonderful therapist say to me, "I don't ask for justice. I pray for grace."

Pissed me off, but she was right. We have control over how graceful we are, but not the justice or fairness in our lives.

It's not fair, but it is reasonable from a short-sighted viewpoint. Letting you go incurs less liability.
Sorry that it happened to you.

I am going to try and remember this. Seems like something worth pursuing.
 
What pissed me off? Everything......particularly people who think they could do your job better and feel free to criticise when they really do NOT have a clue!!
 
I have a computer virus that redirects me to other web pages every time I'm on the internet. :mad:

I think there should be a death penalty for people who create computer viruses.
 
Absolutely no parking when I was running very late! Where's the car I can fold up and put in a messenger bag? Maybe the Cooper Mini Nano?
 
I think these bastards that phone you when your having your dinner to sell you stuff should be lined up on a white line and shot. Then brought back to life, and shot again. If I wanted a mobile phone, or a new all singing all dancing one for that matter, I would go to a shop and BUY one...I certainly dont have to explain to them lot the reason I am turning down their "wonderful" offer...or have them phone back after Ive hung up and get snotty with me. Pricks. Grrrrrrr

You don't say if you're in the U.S., but, if so, is your phone number registered on the National Do Not Call list?: https://www.donotcall.gov/
 
No, am in Uk. I wonder if there is something similar here that I can regester with. Will google... Thanks.xx

Wait. Hold it. Back this up. You're telling me that, potentially, we have a quality-of-life-improving government initiative that the UK does not?

I like how this feels. Is this how it feels to be British?

;)
