Hi all. I'm a grouchy grumpypuss (just in general, no special occasion required) and I was just wondering if anyone would like to complain with me as the year draws to a close. What was THE WORST about 2018 for you? Everyone always tells you to keep your chin up, look on the bright side, find the silver lining. To that I say: ppbbttt. Come be grumpy with me! All whining is equal here, no judgements or "well other people have it worse." Just sympathetic nods and supportive ranting.

Neighbour parked in front of your house all year even though there's plenty of room in front of theirs? You are welcome here, friend. Had a legit terrible year, in all seriousness? You are welcome too.

However, I would like to keep politics off the board. I want everyone to feel welcome here, and keep a tight focus on the topic of complaining about all things both large and petty.

I'm 32 and I don't have a permanent job yet. Still doing contract work and don't know when if that'll ever end.

Ugh finding work is THE WORST. The whole process is just ugh from start to finish. It's inefficient and ineffective, and for someone like me with a social disability, it's futile. What kind of work are you looking for? What do you take contracts for? (If you feel like chatting about it). Not having health insurance through work suuuuuucks.

in 2017 i moved to canada - all full of hope and possibilities. 2018 saw me still not having many friends, up in student debt (because the canadian dollar doesn't do too well compared to the us dollar and loan companies are unwilling to work with that) down a father (with unresolved issues) and a grandmother (who I didn't go visit the previous month when I was supposed to) and riddled with pain from unnecessary weight gain from stress/anxiety eating...

Women, life, death, lonliness, and it's getting really irritating that I never manage to order more drugs in time for them to arrive before I've been out of drugs for a few days. There's something wrong with not being able to find the motivation to go order the drugs that you use for motivation, while you're on them. I'd try something else but, eh.

Putting up with my bratty little sister's annoying temper tantrums! Everything I do sets her off. She psychoanalyses everything I do and says that I am on a mission to ruin her life. When I am minding my own business! To make matters worst my parents both agree with her all the time. I am so glad that I am now working abroad!
