Life sucks sometimes

Not the best of subject lines, but accurate sometimes. I have found myself in a situation where people are pulling me 100 differant directions at once. Since I have taken up serious day trading (with some good results so far) and have been elected as President of my local union, I find myself running around like a one legged man at an ass kicking contest. If I hear one more person say " you need to ........" Im gonna hit someone. I m really sick of people finding it easier to ask me in liue of THINKING THINGS OUT FOR THEMSELVES. Dont get me wrong, I like being the answer man, but I dont like to have to think for people...entirely. Between working in effect 12 hours a day, managing to stay married (easy when you have a wonderful woman like I do) and attempting to keep unity and strength within our labor union, Im finding that when time is allocated for specific duties (ie.work,play,sleep) the "thing" has to go down right then rain or shine, because I cant guarantee when I can get back to it. I have to admit, sometimes I long for the days when I could piss away hours at a time with video games, movies, sports, whatever. Them days are OVER. Unfortunatley for you the reader this blog entry isnt about entertainment as much as its about venting a little. Keep in mind, the whole time all this crap is going down, the shadow of BIG THREE autoworkers meltdown looms over our heads. GM going bankrupt has raised a cloud of discontent that is hard to assess at this point. I REALLY need to stay employed, especially considering I live in what Forbes magazine termed, " The worst small city in America for jobs".Born and raised in Jackson county, I dreamed for years of moving to another area to lay down roots. After lon and difficult consideration, I decided to stay put and lay down roots here. Its not such a bad place to live, in fact its pretty good on my side of town. Then bang. Housing market plummets,jobs disappear,despair and turmoil abound.26 months now, things have sucked bad. Now it gets worse. Yippee. The only good thing I can say is, Im still working and Jackson county still has hole for hole, the best golf in the USA. There are no less than six, 18 hole minimum, golf courses with in a 15 minute drive from my house. A five minute drive yields 81 holes of golf. Being a golfer , its heaven. One other plus, all the above mentioned golf courses accept the Michigan Unemployment Insurance Debit card, so Im good.HAHA. Have a nice day people and Ill have something lighter and more entertaining next...I promise.
