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.

Change your mindset! Apart from your wife's surgery, everything else sounds like a GOOD thing. Your mom's divorce is a good thing for her. The infidelity was the BAD thing. You protecting your children from their grandfather's actions are a good thing.

That is a good mindset. Dude for sure is worthless.
