Holy crap... I have a red car and crashed while in possession of Bambo... and now you... is there a curse???

Don't worry, Thomas - the curse seems to be on me, at least this year.
Let's see - starting just before christmas....
1. Father-in-law dies, necessitating rapid and expensive purchase of two tickets to England.
2. Land back on New Year's Eve to find that I don't have a job coz the company is in receivership. Maybe re-open in 45 to 60 days.
3. Find a$$hole boss conveniently forgets verbal agreement about vacation pay, so last paycheck is only 1/3 of what it should be.
4. Find new work almost immediately, enabling me to tell a$$hole what I really think about him.
5. Find out THE NEXT DAY that the new job is gone because a major client backed out.
6. Ask a$$hole to remember him if/when the company re-opens (which it did) and get told FU (not wildly surprised at that)
7. After 7 week wait, unemploymnt checks start arriving, only to be stopped after another 3 weeks because the a$$hole has told them that I left "voluntarily". WTF?
8. Finds out that I apparently cannot get any checks ("cheques" for those whose countries know how to spell properly) while there is an investigation underway, but the first hearing is May 4th. 6 weeks with no check/cheque, lovely!
9. Get the Yaris crunched by some van-driver who was too busy lighting his stogie to look at the traffic lights.

Yeah - I think it's me alright.

So, what's next? I'm putting bets on the house having expensive issues. Oh, wait, we just did that with a new water-heater.....
