Depression

[clubbyr8]

I've never really thought about having depression, I've always looked at things as a swings and roundabouts scenario. Seems to me the swing I'm on is still going backwards. I haven't worked for 4 years and there's no prospects in sight. I'm totally supported by my partner (who works from home). Centrelink is a joke, I'm not eligible for Newstart so none of the job agencies are willing to assist in finding work. I'm a Telecommunications Technician by trade, 60 years old and on the scrapheap as far as employment is concerned. Hurt my back a few years ago so labouring is pretty difficult for me to do. My last job was making the backs for bus seats.

I don't have any money to spend on the Patrol so it's basically staying stock standard. My only joy is going out one day on the weekend to somewhere we haven't been and using my camera, but even that has been crap lately. I can't seem to take a decent shot which only adds negatively to things. The week just drags, I think my swing needs a push in the other direction.....

Nothin worse than shit bosses. Everybody had a bit more respect when you could drag old mate out the back of the shed to sort things out.

Hmmm.....not sure the world needs more thuggery......

I was assaulted by a customer last Thursday at work, he tried to return product in unsaleable condition so I was just doing my job and said I could help him out a bit but not a full credit. He did not like that and so jumped the counter and hit me, then rang my bosses and lied about it. He is saying he is going to go to consumer affairs. I said that's fine, if you do that I'll go to the police, he got mad at that because the cops know him on first name basis.
I'm not upset about the incident, shit happens. It's a small town and word gets around

[BigRAWesty]

Yea that's not cool. But the blokes got balls jumping you I'll give him that..

But what a f wit..

He's a 62 year old man and is twice the size of me and a foot taller, lol. I am just a big cuddly bear and fighting is not my thing.
I just stood there and was like, really??
