    Times when nothing goes your way

    Ever have those times when what ever you do, nothing can possibly work out in your favor?

    Example. Me and the wife have been boating the Missouri river for the past 4 seasons. Great times! When we were dating i bought this Yamaha Jet boat, that went like 57mph, but was relatively small. We were for sure the smallest boat on the river.

    So this winter we go and buy a new 23' sea ray, drop the cash and get a slip in the marina, drop even more to buy a canopy for our slip, drop even more, and buy a lift for our boat.

    Well guess what, we had a beautiful May. June 11th the river has flooded, and we haven't been out since. Just when it was looking to finally drop and get back into business, all the rain will be rising the river 5 feet, almost to flood stage by saturday, thats 5 feet in 2 days.

    Forget the river for the rest of the summer.



    So, today here at work, we have absolutely NO help, that means i have to do the dirty customer service, register, tech work. Sure, I knew today was coming for a week now, and had it all planned out to do a bunch of good ncaa recruiting via the internet.

    Low and behold, I get here, and the day is bad already. I sit down to fire up my dynasty, and WHAT, the EA servers are being worked on!?

    There goes my sanity for the day.

    And go figure. Was planning on taking tomorrow off, was going to travel about 5 hours tonight to lake mcconaughy, get a nice weekend of sun sand drinking and boating. Guess what, we were going to stay with my folks, who now will be traveling to a wedding, that's about 45 minutes from my house.

    Sorry lake, we won't be coming......


    I realize i'm pretty much an Ahole, but man, it just never seems to stop for me.

    Anyhow, bad sH^t ever happen to you? Does it just make you crazy?!?

          I too would like to add my condolences.

          Between that and having a job, I don't know how you're keeping it together.

              Sometimes we think nothing is going right in our lives, but when you take a minute to to be thankful for what you do have, It gives you a new outlook.

                That is very true.

                Anyhow, it's become obvious that my thread idea has been misuderstood.

                  You are so right!

                  They never told me life was gonna be this way! My job's a joke, I'm broke, my love life's DOA! It's like I'm always stuck in second gear...it hasn't been my day, week, month, or even my year!

                          There really is nothing to say after that.

                            Sometimes you start a thread and 2 minutes later you really regret about it.

                              Yep, especially when you consider the other "life is hard" threads around here.

                              This one was a false alarm, no offense to the OP.
