Oooh a thread where get to vent! Where do I begin - having to move in with my loving but insane parents at the beginning of this year, being stuck in a job and career I hate so intensley I've allowed it to get me dipping in and out of various vices - cigarettes, wacky cigarettes and alcoholism (I've been clean of all for a while now, but work stress got me back on the cancer sticks) - if you are of any intelligence and possess motivation, do not join the Australian Public Service, or at least the Department of Broadband and Communications! Just a warning.

Being single is lonely and sad and the fact that I'm just as much a shy hermit now as I was 15 years is frustrating. And while I love my pets dearly, the fact that the two beings I feel closest to in the world are a cat and a dog also makes me angry at times.

Well I'll leave it at that. And alas when one thinks of all the ills of the world out there, it doesn't always give you perspective - and if it does it just makes you feel guilty. At least that's what I've found.
Heck while I'm greatful for attending the Parramatta meetup the fact I still couldn't find it in myself to be more social and gregarious is also infuriating.
