And now I’m back to getting fucked over at work. Knew it was too good to last. I’ve tired to find another job so many times over the years, always in vain to be stuck here. Maybe this is just my lot in life, perhaps after all the years making this my only marketable skill, maybe I deserve this.

You don’t. Never believe otherwise.

Then I see whats happening in California, and it reminds me to put things in perspective, and then I feel like an asshole for saying all of this.

This speaks volumes to me. You’re a beautiful human being who loves your fellow Man. I know too many people who fixate on themselves but never consider the plights of others.

Thank you. You’re very kind. Things appear to be looking up in terms of my schedule at work, which is good, but there are other issues. I want to get out of there, but God, it’s so hard. I don’t want to work retail anymore, but it’s the only thing I’ve done for almost two decades. I just don’t know what to do.

My dad’s Parkinson’s is continuing to accelerate and I think he’s rapidly moving beyond the ability my mother and I have to help, but we can’t really afford any more help without selling the house. I don’t know what we’re going to do.
