Anyone Else Want To Kick Me While I'm Down...?

Come on... I'm here... Take a kick! Why is my life going down the toilet? Let's see...

Just been told Dad's got dementia, and will only get worse, not better.

I'm skinter than a skint thing that's skint, and the end of the month and its associated expenses is looming on the horizon.

I'm working tomorrow... and I'm in the shop.

The boss is being a real c*nt at the moment... I'm feeling down, and he is constantly having a dig at me for being "grumpy", which MAKES me grumpy. Add to that his jibes about how my job could be done by a 17 year old blonde for a lot less money... how he's realised since I've been in the shop for a good bit of this week that I'm "not really needed here anyway"... and all the rest of the "good-natured teasing" that I'm subjected to, is it any wonder that I'm tempted just to go to him and say "Stick your job sideways, I'm off to the funny farm for a month or 6, and I hope you and your blonde will be very happy together!"?

Family (one member) - It's one thing to take responsibility on paper, but you're not the one going to see Dad almost every bloody day... and if you don't trust me, that's just fine - you can HAVE the responsibility... I never wanted it in the first place!

I'm going to miss my sister - the house goes in the paper next week.

There are probably other things, but my brother's coming to get me soon to go and see Dad (who will be asleep, I've no doubt)... Besides, I've depressed you enough for one day.
