Mood: Utterly depressed
Music: "Daphne Descends" by The Smashing Pumpkins
Geez.
Things just keep piling up, one after another. My 'ex'-wife has told me that I will be keeping our daughter indefinitely. Which really, I don't mind, as I love raising her and molding her to be the best person she could be. But it is one more thing on my plate. It is nice sometimes to have a break from the stresses of being a single parent, but I guess I'm going to have to wait.
On top of that, there's work. There are 6 people in my department. One of which is dedicated to network issues, another is just plain worthless. Two of the major techs have gone on vacation for a couple of weeks; leaving me and one other to take the entire workload. I could really use a vacation, but as I'm only contract employee, I get no sick/vacation/floating days off. No overtime, either.
Then there's family issues. OH LORD, the family issues. Nothing destroys your day like your stepfather calling to tell you that your mother is in another drunken stupor, and he's 'this close' to divorcing her. What a great thing to add to your load. Dead brother's birthday is coming soon, which makes me feel even worse.
On the bright side, my car's almost repaired, only about $1200 more to go.
[I am sorry to shove all this depressed crap down your throats. Hoping soon things start to change and I can let you guys in on the better parts of my life.]
