Why does everything always have to happen at once?

I come back from vacation last week to no Store Manager, so I'm technically the acting SM, and am trying to run the store with ONE part time assistant manager who started the week I left on vacation, and a keyholder with constant visits from our District manager.

On top of constant stress from my job, I got into a wreck on Sunday afternoon. My deductible is $1,000 out of pocket once my car is fixed, and there's no estimated time on that.

Add $1000 to my typical monthly bills, plus the fact that my last check was only half of what I typically make since I was on vacation for most of the pay period...

I really just want to curl into a ball and cry.

Sorry to be so negative. I am typically not like this at all, I just needed somewhere to rant.

Yes, totally agreed! Both health AND car insurance. It's like oh...you have really nice health benefits but if you get cancer then you're basically in debt for the rest of your life, have fun. Most of my UK friends think we are totally backwards over here. Actually, most developed countries probably think that about us.  That is SO crazy about your dad! I can't believe they're all like have fun replacing this on your own, and paying more every month for something you didn't even cause or do, what the fuck?  Hahaha I love your honesty about everything!  @colchicine

Hahaha thanks! Oh gawd yes, health insurance is horrible as well. I get to use another story of my dad for that one! lol. He was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago and they referred him to get the advanced robotic surgery, his insurance was refusing to pay and told him he has to shell out 30,000 because they said removing the cancer is not a required surgery, it's an optional surgery. Uh...... his doctor said it was extremely aggressive and he was lucky he came in for an unrelated appointment where they noticed something suspicious. They said if he would have waited for his next scheduled physical, it would have been too advanced.  Hmmm... don't get surgery and die within 2 years in your 50's or get it removed and have the chance of living for a couple more decades, how the fuck is that "optional"!?  No kidding, i love my country with a passion but id be delusional if i didn't admit we have some really fucked up issues thanks to capitalism. I don't understand the level of greed needed to not care whatsoever for other fellow human beings medical needs. I could go on and on about the medical field as well but ill shush for now before i type out an even bigger ranting manifesto, lol.
