I have not had a vacation in 7 years.

day in I go to work, day out I come back home, weekend is sometimes nice, but rarely do I get to have spare cash for fun stuff.

Im telling you right now, it will be worse

shit... I seriously think I'm going to become an alcoholic.

if you do you will just go over your budget and suffer more for it

I know... *sigh* nobody said life was easy... such is life.

Agreed.... *Sigh* life has a way of coming back at you and biting you ass with razor sharp teeth.

College is fun, to me, it keeps me away from my family. Work brings me money, so even less relience on family. Just think of it that way. The hardships you face temper the steel. Now just need to find a signifcant other, and life will get better.

I know the feeling of finding a good reason to "go back". In my case,it's going to work(currently cleaning the equipment) having 2 days off(currently Mon&Tues),then back into it,then are nights that everything has to be done now,an I can only do so much,As for Vacation,sure I get so many days a year to do with as I please,but I have yet to be able schedule any major time out of the place to go anywhere,but I look at it this way,I'm getting my bills paid,I got a decent place to live(although I hate to continue renting),a car(for as long it lasts) and I'm saving some money for many of the possible things I want to get:A House,with a nice sized garage/work area so I then start getting into electronics,as well as setting up my figures that I've collected an not having them stored in a closet just taking up space. So I would also like to get back into college and get back into classes for electronics,but with the way things are currently going at my workplace,I'm not sure if this place will even be around for much longer(Contract Time,already rumors of Strike,are floating about.) So,I'm trying to keep at it for as long as I can,an HOPE for the best.I do also Hope that things get better for you and any1 else who is having trouble's at whatever that bothers them..
