That sucks! Usually they wait 'til the day before Christmas.

Utah Phillips wrote a song called "Dump the bosses off your back", and another called "All used up"....I busted my ass for that son of a bitch and he left me to die like a dog in the ditch and he told me I'm all used up.

Things are starting to improve here and I hope it will be a world wide recovery soon.
Meantime, you have my sympathy. That and a 5 pound note gets you a litre of petrol.Damn.
