This could probably be my worst year ever. Not even the advent of bad A Levels in 2000 could compare to this catastrophic year. It's a bungled transition that promised so much, and yet showed me how bad things could be.

What have I gained other than a pittance of monetary items?

Nothing. Zip. No new friends, no new careers, no new nothing. Except for the recognition that I just cant be good at anything at all. My friends, sad to say, I'm a bona fide failure. And it's true.
