I'm sorry, I just have to rant every now and then

Currently: Watching Some retarded show on Comedy Central ]You ever just realize you aren't happy? Now, I'm not saying I'm not happy being married, quite the contrary... It's just that everything else in my life sucks. My day job continues to screw me over. I've poured the last 3 years of my life into this job, going above and beyond my duties to help the company become what I know it could be, and yet they constantly screw me; promise me one thing and then once I meet all the requirements, they tell me I have to wait, or that they don't remember telling me that... and granted it's my own fault for not getting things in writing, but they know what the fuck they are doing.
And my Wife's work is even worse. She works for the Airline as a gate agent (the person who helps you just before you get on the plane). A job she is excellent at, and because of this she was offered a Lead position a couple months back. She told them she didn't want to be a Lead, she even no-showed an interview for the position, the position only offered $1 more per hour, and meant that she would have to deal with 1000x more crap. Well, then ended up talking her into taking the position. Hell I even told her not to take it, that it wasn't worth it... but I can't blame her, she takes pride in her work and I have nothing but respect for that. But now that all the airlines are going down the shitter, the employees they have know that until they start the bulk layoffs the airline won't fire anyone as they are understaffed and on a hiring freeze. And it's because of this hiring freeze that my wife can't step back down to her previous position (she would have to re-apply for the old position and be 'hired' into it, and they would have to hire someone to replace her, so...) They can't pay her more to make it worth the crap she deals with, so her options are to either stay and be completely miserable (meaning I'm miserable too), or quit (which we can't afford for her to do.)
and my parents... long story short: both are out of work, lost their home, sold 90% of their stuff, now living out of their car, all on blind faith that God will make it all better because of a dream my mom had. And they still try to lecture me on being responsible.
fuck. I'm. Tired.
