I'm not going to my usual quiz of the week because my mate will be there and I don't want to face him. It's not right.
And on top of all that, I'm trying to support my chronically depressed brother who has just spilt up with his girlfriend..who happens to work in the same office that me and him work. He ended it, but its not gone well.
Still, there's always someone worse off eh?

BINGO! I was trying to work out the riddle in your blog too
I hate timewasters - they suck big style and I've had my fair share of them throughout the years. You don't need them in your life James, flush 'em out - that's what I did and I came out far better on the other side.
As to your brother - I've seen that situation happen many a time in our Sixth Form and I agree, it's horrible, but even more so when you have to see each other every day. Obviously he had his reasons for finishing it and he needs to keep remind reminding himself why he finished it. If he does that it does ease the pain a little - while it may have short-term problems, it will work out better in the long run. And why stay in something you're not happy with?
If I were him I'd bugger off somewhere for a week so that he can clear his head a bit.
But at the end of the day, shit is something that happens, and there's not a lot one can do about it apart from ride it out. Things WILL get better - even if it doesn't seem like it now. You've had a bad time generally - university not working out, then being unhappy in your job at Safeway and it's no surprise you are feeling the way you are doing. I know that I would be throwing objects around and breaking stuff if I were in your shoes right now.
You felt shit when you quit Cov Uni, yeah? Well remember you hoped it would have bee the right thing in the long run - and it was. You've got a stable job which you now admit you enjoy (though I can imagine if there's tension in your office right now) and that's come out in the wash.
Things do get better but these things need time. Wait and you will recieve.
I hope this is of conoslation to you both.
