Dear Karma...

I would dearly love to know what I have done in my life that is so heinously awful that my life of late has become a crock of shit.  Not content with being made redundant (admittedly the blow was softened for a while by the pay-out, but that's nearly gone), I have been unemployed for 8 months now; only three job interviews in that time despite my fevered efforts at sending out CV's and completing application forms.  I have no money coming in from the DWP; my house sale made less than I planned, and now I'm looking at an extremely bleak future as I have no reserve behind me to put down a deposit on a rented flat.

Are you satisfied with that or is there worse to come?

Yours completely pissed off,

S.

It's For You-oo...

I'm not sure what the counsellor at The Samaritans made of the large hairy sobbing mass sat on the doorstep around 11am this morning, but they were there when I needed them.
