I just want this year to be over. It's been ... trying. My office started a rule last year that if you had a "needs improvement" on your annual review you wouldn't get a raise. So, no raise last year ... and with one (down from multiple) "needs improvement" ratings, probably not this year. Also, the building I've been living in for 30+ years has been sold, I won't be able to afford the new rents - they're doing a major (supposedly) renovation and the monthly rent on a one-bedroom will be $3,990 ... which is about what I take home each month. I have to be out by the end of April, so I do have some time, but most of the building's residents are also moving out ... that's a little over 150 apartments, a number with children and it's been one of the few in town that allow dogs. I've been under rent control, so any apartment (unless it's a real dump) will be more expensive. In addition, I had the old owner fix my bathroom ceiling, since the damage from a water leak was pretty extensive. The leak's been there at least 10 years, but they've never actually fixed it. Then, over the weekend, sections of my living room ceiling started coming down ... I reported it Saturday but no one seems interested.
What with the constant barrage of bad news in the world in general, I am more than ready for this year to be over.
