Mike's dad is getting laid off. So now the whole family, who all have genetic problems with depression, have an entirely real reason to be extremely depressed. He's worked at that job since he was a teenager, and now to have to start over so late in life? There isn't even anywhere around there anymore where he could get a comparable job. The economy is devastating my hometown. Fuck the Bush administration, man! I hate watching this happen to people I love and knowing that I can't really do shit about it.
Plus the fact that I found out some kid I knew from high school is dead. Heart failure. He was a few years younger than me, too. Shit.
The good news is that I'm working at my old building now, so no more draining drive across the lake. But that doesn't make me feel much better. I got in a fight with my boss last Friday because I refuse to work overtime and not get paid for it. That's bullshit. So, we'll see if she's a bitch to me this week. Must keep applying elsewhere!
That's all for now. I'm drained.

I wish I could say something helpful or encouraging. That's a lot to be going through (well, any one of them would be awful, but all at once must be just terrible!).
I guess all I can really say is that I'll be cheering for you, and also, I'm always happy to talk if you get fed up and want to vent or just talk about things.
Best of luck!

Doing work and not getting paid shouldn't even be an issue.
Wow the nerve!
