Life is aggravating

But then again, when has it not been?

I worked a thankless job for 4 years, give or take a few months, despite the fact that some days were hard to work through. The work environment wasn't the most fun, and the co-workers were nothing if not unreliable; everybody had time off all willy-nilly because, hey, they booked it off 2 months in advance. That, and they had seniority. And then there were the new employees who would quit after a couple of weeks, if that, because "it was too hard."

The customers weren't all bad, I'll be the first to say it... but the assholes who did come in? Hoo boy. I have anger management issues, and they developed over a long while of just bottling it all up because I had to be a polite and pleasant person. My middle name was "Welcome" and all that fun stuff.

But yes, I worked at that job for 4 years, and my some of my paycheck went into E.I. (employment insurance), and I think I've earned the right to get some of that money back. Because I'm actually trying to take care of myself, I'm trying to get help for my mental health issues. But nothing's happening, and it's frustrating, and I fucking hate Service Canada right now. What the fucking hell.
