    I do too. Sometimes you have to travel. For the past few months ive had to get a half hour bus then walk 2 and a half miles each way for work - sometimes it's what you have to do

    Yeah but you probably live in a big city where the buses don't stop after 5pm.

    They do on a bank holiday. Rest of the time it depends where I'm going but I had to walk 3 miles back from training as the bus only went so far.

    Something you are going to have to come to terms with - and just accept - Life isn't fair. Schools try too hard to make kids believe everything is fair and equal, in adult life its an eye opener. So much in life is down to a bit of luck, but you have to put yourself in a position to get lucky.

    Could you cycle it if it's got paths? Problem is nowadays places want you to be fully flexible in most roles sadly

    Im not jealous that he has a car far from it, what i don't agree with is that he gets a free car every two years because of CMT. I mean there i am having to get the bus everywhere while he gets a free car every couple of years, that is what i think is not fair
    You know what Sam? Life is NOT fair. It's just not. And it seems a shame that you've got to the age you are without realising that.

    Now, you've got a choice.

    You can keep kicking off with the 'life's not fair' thing (and tbh what you said in your first post smacked of that: "It's not fair, you won't let me take holiday when I want, you're an awful employer").

    Or you can take a deep breath whenever you feel that feeling bubbling up. "Nope, life's not fair, now, what am I going to do about it, whinge or keep going?"

    Could you cycle to a place of work ?

    Is there any businesses out of town you could cycle too ?

    You need to stop finding negatives in everything, look for positives.

    I have MS, It made me a very toxic person to be around, I got depressed, hated anything and everything, found negatives in everything.

    I then realised that people will stop helping if you find a problem with everything suggested,

    If no one wants you is this based on your cv? Get you cv checked maybe re written.

    Jobs are not going to be handed to you on a plate, you need to fight for them more so because of your needs, Fight for what you want.
