Damn, I lost my job. [View all]

Doc found someone who was willing to work for $2 less an hour than me. Bummer in this job market and it's not easy for someone my age to find work, even part time work. I live in a college town so most of the part time jobs are snapped up by students.

I really don't know why I'm posting. I guess I just want to get it off my chest.
