It's been a pretty good year for me but I know the pain of a terrible one.

You seem to have a better perspective on it than I probably would, I've got some bad wrath issues.

Better years come around just like bad ones do. Congratulations on a good job. Work has often been a great solace to me. You can't wrap you're life around your job for too long but having a place where none of the fucked up things that are happening to me intrude, where I am valued and appreciated and can make a difference every day can be a break from the horrors of real life.

Good luck and take one day at a time until many days, weeks and months have melted away and you are in a different place.
