Dear Facebook,

Awesome.

Fortunately it was close to my house and I could hoof it home. Just sucks. It's Christmas, and I've been working my arse off to get a little ahead for the holidays. I'm working three jobs right now (working for a marketing firm, doing appraisals for a bank, actually BPOs, and doing tech and design work for my other office on the side.) I feel like I'm doing everything I can to do the right thing. My life hasn't always been the shining example of "doing the right thing", but I'm trying to be better.

I'm just trying to get back above water. You'd think the Universe would cut you a break sometime, but it seems it never does. It prefers to smack you in the face with an open hand and make you it's bitch.

frick. I'm just pissed off and angry and felt the need to vent.

Life is like a shite sandwich and you take a bite everyday. Some days you get more bread than the others.

The principal told you years ago that you were in for a tough life if you went ahead and dropped out of HS.

It comes and goes. Feel good that you are prepared enough to even be able to deal with it right now.

I feel ya. I just bought my first house. What is supposed to be an exciting time just turned to shite when I found out a day later that my transmission on my car is on it's last leg.

I'll get it fixed. Just an expense I didn't need right now. Makes it difficult to get to work and make the money to repair it.

Fortunately, the bank owes me about 4 grand for work done. Maybe they'll actually pay me soon.

Time to revert back to a life of crime. You gotta take what you want in this world.

This. You can replace a radiator DIY for under $150.

The last time I got ahead financially, Boom-cancer. I got done with that and Boom major car wreck. shite happens, what that all taught me was to just enjoy life and understand set backs happen and are part of the experience.

Have them test your overflow tank cap. Hopefully the cap is just not holding pressure.

He should be thankful for having three jobs when some people can't even get one.

Could be s busted hose, bad thermostat, bad cap, water pump, all of which are cheap. Why do you think it’s the radiator?
