thanks for letting me vent on this forum.

In a year, the job thing will be a blip that you may not even remember. Plus you will be 33. Just part of the ups and downs of life. Look on the bright side-you have a job.I am very grateful I have a great job every day and bust my ass to keep it that way. The first 3 years were ROUGH, now things are rolling. Jobs are things of longevity many times. Keep your chin up.
