Hard thing for the day:

Doing the math and realising that, even if you get the second job, you're not going to be able to afford to go home for Christmas Day.

It's not even Christmas I'm upset about - it's that I won't be able to meet Malcolm and Val's new baby, and that it's going to make my mother cry.

Today's Ozy and Millie (http://www.ozyandmillie.org/) - that first panel, on its own? One of the better descriptions of depression I've seen, even if that's probably not the intent.

Work today was... mind-numbing. The weather was lousy enough that people didn't want to venture to the mall, so it was very... dead. The Rice Bowl is sparkling clean. We took to colouring in the 'o's on menus.

Yep.
