In the last couple years I've lost my step father to cancer and my father in law to heart disease. I lost the job I always dreamed of doing, found out my dad is a junkie again and because of other circumstances i stopped talking to him completely for the last couple months until last night. I got a good job doing something I hate but it pays my bills which is very important because I own a house now. I got engaged to the girl I loved for the last almost 11 years now and we are finally getting our lives in order we quit smoking cigarettes. We got two amazingly great dogs. I quit eating gluten and I feel healthier than I ever have in my life. I feel like whenever my life seems to be turning around for the better everything goes to shit and blows up in my face. I just got a "promotion" at work because I've been busting my ass and the old head custodian retired in the middle of the last summer. So everyone got a chance to move up which is great but i requested the kitchen/cafeteria position which is a midday shift when previously I worked an evening 3-11:30pm shift. I never got to see my fiancee putting a lot of stress on our relationship to say the least. The new position although it was a "promotion" i had to take a 7% pay cut because i lost my night shift bonus. Not an easy decision when you have a mortgage a wedding two dogs and you need a new vehicle, but i knew spending the time with my girl was worth it. After all the hard work i had done at work to make my new bosses look really good they started taking advantage of me by giving me the most challenging sections when doing overtime and giving the biggest slackers the easiest sections every time letting the get away with not doing shit and still doing a shitty job. While the gave me the hardest part and repeatedly complained i still wasn't doing a good enough job and threatening me with violence repeatedly if i didn't do a better job. I got very upset and lost my cool on my afternoon boss when i confronted her about why she was taking advantage of me. She instantly changed from being my best friend to calling the day boss behind my back and telling him i "hurt her feelings" and he has been making my life hell for it. I've needed someone to talk to because its been very frustrating and i tried to talk to my fiancee about it and because it is such a difficult nearly helpless situation she became very frustrated with my complaints an told me she didn't want to talk about it anymore. It made me feel even more betrayed helpless and alone.

Sucks to hear about the job. Hope that woman gets hit by a bus.
