That shit aught to be illegal. I cannot even get a good reference from good people who know I am a good worker now.

Yeah, really. At least while they are on the clock. Either that or she was just trying to find a way to tell me to go screw myself.

I will pray for you Vuk.

Now, if I may vent a little for my own problems...

I have turned into a poor creature, debilitated by minor but frustrating ailments. Most of my life I have felt this way I do now - that things are not sustainable, that I am fighting against the way of things. I cannot hold down jobs or maintain friendships - any future just seems too fragile and unstable to invest in it. My life has a strange twilight-zone feel to it... everything seems indeterminate; temporary and fleeting, yet somehow unchangeable. An unending impermanence. I find my life littered with such paradoxes. That having addressed, and deconstructed, and understood my OCD, I somehow find it holds a greater sway over me than ever before. That after I deliberately left my old world of 'God and Ulster', I somehow find myself more deeply immersed in that culture than ever before - I suppose it is fitting that someone like myself should embrace a way of life so hopelessly and irreversibly in decline. And I cannot help but feel, that I am headed in a similar direction myself.

What to do?

Everyone here is having such a rough time. Sometimes I wish I could come by and buy you all a beer.

An old coworker just talked to her mother who manages a restauraunt and got me an interview. She is hiring shift leads and a kitchen head. With luck, my period of unemployment may be short lived.

Make sure to brush up on the important parts, and then you will knock them dead (not literally) and you end up on your feet again.

As for my news:
I just bought my first car, it is a Toyota Yaris. It was owned by some old woman since brand-new, so full service history at the garage I use and buying it from, and only 30,000 miles on the clock and it is 11-12 years old. So it is well looked after and virtually 'brand new' since there is basically no wear and tear on it. According to online 'what is the value of my car' quotes, getting it around £600 cheaper than they price it at.
