Last year was a bad one for me, I hoped that this year would be better, three weeks in and my job is a waste of time, I've not earned a wage this year yet, my dad is back in hospital and so is one of my best mates as well, while sitting there tonight I was reflecting on my working life, so far in 27 yrs I've had to live through two recessions and now a 3rd on the way, the more I try the more it seems someone is watching me and paving the way with banana skins for me to slip on, right now the cab has quite a good value to it and I'm seriously thinking of cashing it in and look for a turn up and get paid job with paid holidays, I don't know why life has to be so dam hard, we don't live long and by now you'd think a better system of reward would be in place so the life we do have is an enjoyable one, going back on work, in the last two years the powers that be have conspired to hit me three ways, 1 - The loss of all proper nightclubs in our city, replaced by small bars with no feel good atmosphere in them, 2 - Drinking laws, since they relaxed I don't get a pub out hour anymore, and finally 3 - Smoking ban, this is beginning to really bite, as a smoker I can tell you it's not the same anymore having to go outside for a puff, add the vile British weather in and you can see why ppl aren't going out anymore, someone is on a mission to close this country, and a lot of damage is done to a country in the same way a body is damaged, example, form a blood clot near the heart, the heart stops and then the brain shuts down, add in all the other vital organs and death is soon after, it's the same with money, if I can't spend it cos I ain't got it, you don't get it and then the guy you would've spent with also goes hungry, do this on a national scale and before you know it there is no demand for production and this results in everyone skint and unemployed, and one of the worst culprits is the media, they frighten ppl into holding on to what money they have and accelerate the recession process, which generally last for 4-5 yrs or until a new Government is elected, which seems to restore confidence for a while.
Thoughts ?
Oh and that's the other one, fuel, 85p hike in a matter of 8 weeks because of oil prices, scoff scoff scoff, fuel is the hulage in a barrel of oil, almost a waste product, the hike is to cover what the IRS won't get from ciggy and beer revenue next year, the more I look at it, it reads like someone smashing into your car and insisting you pay because you should've know they were a bad driver and likely to collide with you.
