All you have to do is nod your head and go, "Yeah, sucks, doesn't it?"

Note to self:

Should your mother or father have to give you a ride to work tonight, please be advised that perhaps it's best that at no time do you mention to either one of them that the reason you'd much rather have a friend drive all the way from Scranton to pick you up is because they're much less likely to be bitchy, overcritical and condescending about how everything you own hasn't worked for the past week, you currently have incredibly bad luck, and you're broke. They actually might attempt to be sympathetic, which it appears is some sort of recessive gene in your family.

Sincerely,

Me

EDIT: I wonder what it says about my state of mind that I whipped up and posted angsty fanfiction about a movie featuring cannibalistic rugby players bright and early this morning.

That was really nice of your granddad. Just a little support, you know? It ain't too much to ask. Good for him. :)
