Yep , bankruptcy . My lawyer filed for me this week . He says that if no one contests it , that it should only take about 4 hours of my life . And looking at my situation , he doesn't expect anyone to fight it . I am now the proud owner of a 07 Hyundai Accent . It's my moms old car . She gave it to me then bought a 2010 . I guess she's decided that she likes Hyundai too . It's not a bad little car , and makes me realize how much I missed driving a hatchback . So easy to park , & better on gas mileage then what I was driving .
So , I work at the Red Cross building in Philly , and the nurses are on strike . The nurses belong to a union , while most of us working in the building don't . Needless to say , we aren't getting much work in right now . All I know is that I've been there for over 2 years , know people who've been there longer , and they haven't gotten a raise in 3 years . The nurses want a 20% raise over the next 3 years & 5 more call out days a year . So I am slightly bitter . I have nothing against anyone doing better for themselves , but for christ's sake look at the fucking economy . The only people getting rich are the one's who already are well off .
So , this has been a cheerful update . I haven't even mentioned that the muscle spasm in my neck is back & more painful than even . Because I'm sick of talking about it . And this has been depressing enough without it . Think I may have a drink tonight & listen to something to raise my spirits . Just have to figure out what .

Sorry to hear about your bad times.
I see you're a prog guy like me, but I'll recommend Neil Young. There's just something in his music that raises my spirits. Bigsby and a 50's Fender Deluxe, maybe.

Ouch. All that would have me drinking as well. Hopefully things start picking up for you.

When I'm in a downer mood, I'll mix the songs... some depressing but I keep most of the list upbeat and in random order. It helps me to deal with the bullshit in small doses.

Starship Trooper by Yes always seems to make me smile. smile

for the spasm: try a TENS unit
or (and I know this sounds weird) a cold pack over your appendix area (a chiropractor had me do that once and it was like hitting an off switch!)
