Do you ever get the feeling life is a fight?

Life really does seem like a huge fight sometimes. You can go for a job and you have to fight off 300 other people for a 50% ft job and you have to fight to pay the bills every month and fight to even exist in the basic human way.

    Yes it does.

    I have health problems, and just when I start dealing with those problems, another one comes along and starts making a nuisance of itself.

    You kinda just have to get on with it though, because there will always be someone much worse of than yourself.

    Did you know that some people get head hunted for a position.
    They sometimes have to say no to several jobs...
    But then again, they're generally good... :whistle:
