The shittiest moments that happened to me in the last 10 years:<\/p>\n

Being fired from Rogers iMedia.<\/strong> Going from a $45k job to barely eking out a living caused me to lose a lot of friends, a relationship and most of my dignity. Getting laid off also made me declare…<\/p>\n

Bankruptcy.<\/strong> I still can remember the day I signed the papers – I felt like I had let everyone down. Then 48 hours later I got the call for my current job. If I held out another couple months, I wouldn’t have had to sign those papers and be in this 7 year black hole. But I have learned you can live without a credit card. Marry one!<\/p>\n

Giving up my first cats<\/strong>. I really should have given up the allergic, 4-joints a day, roommate.<\/p>\n

Dad being sick.<\/strong> It was the longest, most frustrating year of my (his!) life. All this came when Michael Moore released “Sicko”. I wanted to punch his fat face and tell him about my father spending close to 28 hours in St Micheal’s emergency waiting for a bed to come free. He’s still not 100% but at least he’s eating and working out again.<\/p>\n

The Strike\/Workshare\/General Economy.<\/strong> After coming home to such a wonderful Disney vacation we were told I was going to a 4 day work week and SharkBoy was going on strike. Worst. Summer. Ever. No money, no-money stresses, heaped on workload, more-workload stresses, shitty weather, no tan to speak of stresses. Last summer can chew my ass.<\/p>\n

Movies.<\/strong> I have to say the worst movie I saw in the last ten years (other than the obvious Return to Frogtown<\/a> ones) was Joel “I Destroy Everything I Touch” Schumacher’s Phantom Of the Opera<\/a>. I slept through some of it (something I never do) and what I did see made me angry. It’s the only movie I can recall ever really wanting<\/em> to walk out of. Not that I hated the music (I’ve seen the stage show at least three times), I did enjoy the art direction and the costuming, but the whole thing just bored me and then angered me. Especially when they reversed the bubbles<\/a>. Moulin Rouge!<\/em> was my first choice for a long while but I’ve warmed to it – except for Ewan McGregor’s shoutysingy voice. Still hate that.<\/p>\n

Crappiest Game.<\/strong> Hands down, the worst game I played in the last ten years has to be “The Price Is Right” for the Wii. We did laugh, but we laughed at<\/em><\/strong> it. Second only to “Totally Spies” for the Wii as well. Soul-less game play with the camp girly sucked out of existence.<\/p>\n

In all, not a terrible decade. I’ve had worse (Grade 5 to College). I hope your upcoming deca-year will be faboo!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
