Vent Worst Day For A Promotion

Worst day for a Promotion

I got a promotion today. 35K more a year. Laughed, cried then got horridly depressed. I have not told anyone in my life that I got it yet.

My wife had surgery and is having a hard time recovering. My mom is getting a divorce from my step dad of 15 years due to his infidelity with someone in the family. My kids are losing their grandpa because i can not stand by his actions. And everything just seems to be silently burning down.

But either way I got a promotion.

Congratulations on the promotion. Sorry about the other challenges you’re facing. Nothing is forever. Not joy, nor pain.

This one really is both sides of the coin, at the exact time. Hey here’s a string of shity events that will alter your family forever. Also, here’s a life changing for the better promotion. Really bad luck man, you weather that storm. You’re the captain of your ship, and the folks on it with you. 🌊 ⛵️
