So glad this piece of shit year is finally over. I know there are 100,000's of people if not millions worse off than me, but I just needed to vent. So here goes,
My wife and I have lost 2 cats, 1 that she has had for close to 20 years, died a horrible disgusting, painful death, the other was a 3 month old kitten we adopted that developed F.I.P., I had to watch her die in my arms.
Developed influenza, missed work for a long time, my wife lands her 'dream job', only to find out it's a company who's executives have embezzeled millions, and she has to leave because they didn't pay her for 2 pay periods.
Deep and scarring fights between my wife and I that we are still trying to work through. I learned that I will need yet another open heart operation in the next few years (this will be my 4th).
My wife left that company that was dicking her over, only to land another 'dream job'. She' loves it, they seem to love her, but she finds out they are doing layoffs, so 1 month after she starts, she has to choose either to get laid off or take a 50% pay cut for ~1 month.
Our dishwasher took a nose dive, we had 2 floods in our downstairs bathroom, and our snowblower needs to have the carb rebuilt.
There were 100's of other little things that added to the stress and shitstorm that was 2008, and now, I find out that I won't be getting any bonus or potential raise next year (I came up with a way for the company to save $10,000's yearly at no impact to day to day work), so 2009 looks to start as wonderfully as 2008.
I have pretty much given up all hope in a higher power, god, or whatever the fuck you want to call it, and in a massive depression cycle that has no light at the end of the tunnel. Anyway, I needed to vent. I did, and I am sure that there will be people that empathize, people that criticize, people that are beyond immature and tell me to harm myself, so in advance of all that, I appreciate those of you who read this and empathized.
For those that choose to be dicks, or find themselves thinking they are clever, you're wasting your time and energy, because, frankly, I don't give a fuck about you, and you clearly feel the same about me.
Happy Holidays.
