I just need to vent. I have a decent state job, I pinch pennies, cook at home, almost everything I own was bought from a thrift store or a hand-me-down and still every month I am behind. I started making a list of things that have come up in the last 2 years.

• Wife gets cancer, I spend the next year taking time off work for appointments and trying to keep our family going
• We get divorced
• New apartment means new security deposits, renter's insurance, utilities deposits
• Mom gets sick, 2 more weeks out of work and interstate drives as gas prices creep up
• 2 tires on truck have leaks after getting back from my mom's and need replacing
• I agree to buy ex out of her portion of the house through a loan from my mom (I understand that I am lucky she was able to do this but the debt weighs on me)
• Truck breaks down
• Dog gets an infection from getting in a scuffle and needs surgery less than a week after getting all his shots updated.

That's just the big stuff. I'm tired boss. There's no amount of eating beans or brewing my own coffee that can make up for this. All I want is for some day to go to the grocery store and feel that I could afford which ever brand of frozen pizza I so desire.

Here is a dumb one I don't understand. I work for a state agency in a multi-story office building. In each floor's bathroom there are 4 hand washing sinks in a row. The left-most sink in all of the bathrooms has decent water pressure, and as you move right the pressure goes down regardless of if any of the other sinks are currently in use. What would cause this?
