Putting it all in perspective

[Crescent Cat]

Me thinkin' to myself: Dammit! Life sucks. I was screwed out of a position I've wanted for a while, screwed out of Holiday pay because my employment date got reset and I don't get to spend my anniversary with my boyfriend or celebrate his niece's first birthday because I'm stuck working on St Patrick's Day (yes, she's was born on St Patty's). Also, I can't go to the Flogging Molly concert and I'm struggling to keep up with my bills. Not only that but I have to work for nine days straight due to a schedule change. To quote AVGN - what a shit load of fuck!

[Friend calls me to tell me she's being tested to see if she has a brain tumor and she'll find out whether it is or isn't on her birthday]



. . . kay . . . I'm gonna stop whining now . . .

Holy shit! And on her birthday too! I hope she'll be okay. Gah, I feel like an ass . . .

There are always people who are worse off, it doesn't mean that your complaints aren't valid.
Still, I hope that your friend will get a nice test result as an extra birthday gift, either no tumor or an easily treated one.

I couldn't help but think of Tim Minchin's "Some People Have It Worse Than I"...


I hope your friend is OK.
