Downward Spiral
Maybe some Annie lyrics will cheer you up... 
IT'S THE HARD-KNOCK LIFE
ORPHANS
It's the hard-knock life for us!
It's the hard-knock life for us!
ANNIE
'Steada treated,
ORPHANS
We get tricked!
ANNIE
'Steada kisses,
ORPHANS
We get kicked!
ALL
It's the hard-knock life!
Got no folks to speak of, so,
It's the hard-knock row we how!
ANNIE
Cotton blankets,
ORPHANS
'Steada of wool!
ANNIE
Empty Bellies
ORPHANS
'Steada of full!
ALL
It's the hard-knock life!
ANNIE
Don't if feel like the wind is always howl'n?
KATE AND TESSIE
Don't it seem like there's never any light!
DUFFY AND JULY
Once a day, don't you wanna throw the towel in?
MOLLY AND PEPPER
It's easier than puttin' up a fight.
ANNIE
No one's there when your dreams at night get creepy!
No one cares if you grow...of if you shrink!
No one dries when your eyes get wet an' weepy!
ALL
From all the cryin' you would think this place's a sink!
Ohhhh!!!!!!!
Empty belly life!
Rotten smelly life!
Full of sorrow life!
No tomorrow life!
MOLLY
Santa Claus we never see
ANNIE
Santa Claus, what's that?
Who's he?
ALL
No one cares for you a smidge
When you're in an orphanage!
MOLLY
(Making a whistling sound and imitating Miss. Hannigan)
You'll stay up till this dump shines like the top of the Chrysler Building.
ORPHANS
Yank the whiskers from her chin
Jab her with a safety Pin
Make her drink a mickey finn
I love you, Miss Hannigan
MOLLY
(whistle)
Get to work!
(whistle)
Strip them beds!
(whistle)
I said get to work!
ALL
It's the hard-knock life for us
It's the hard-knock life for us
No one cares for you a smidge
When your in an orphanage
It's the hard-knock life
It's the hard-knock life
It's the hard-knock life!
IT'S THE HARD-KNOCK LIFE (REPRISE)
ALL
Lucky kid, she's out there free
MOLLY
Runnin' free in N.Y.C.
PEPPER
Bet she finds her folks
ALL
Like that
KATE
Mom and Dad
ALL
Right off the bat
JULY
Lucky duck, she got away
MOLLY
But we're gonna have to pay
KATE AND TESSIE
Gonna get our faces slapped
DUFFY AND PEPPER
Gonna get our knuckles rapped
ALL (EXCEPT MOLLY)
It's the hard-knock life
MOLLY
Yes, it is.

TOMORROW
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There'll be sun!
Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs,
And the sorrow
'Til there's none!
When I'm stuck a day
That's gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And Grin,
And Say,
Oh!
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
I love ya Tomorrow!
You're always
A day
A way!
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There'll be sun!
Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs,
And the sorrow
'Til there's none!
When I'm stuck a day
That's gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And Grin,
And Say,
Oh!
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
I love ya Tomorrow!
You're always
A day
A way!
Keep your head up bro, I'm struggling too. Despite working my ass off, I've still had no luck finding employment after I get out of the Navy at the end of May. I failed the oral board with the State Patrol, passed but didn't score high enough with Tacoma and just this weekend failed the physical fitness test with King County by ONE sit-up! I wasn't feeling good, was tired and had an upset stomach. Had I felt better I would have passed. Right now my hope is riding on Snohomish County Corrections and Washington State Corrections, Snohomish would be great, pay and benefits are awesome, WA State Corrections on the other hand doesn't pay too well, but has decent benefits. Plus I would have to move to Monroe, WA a rather boring somewhat remote town north of Seattle.
Unfortunately with the military, I can't just find a job and put in a two week notice. I have until May 29 to find a job or file for unemployment.
