I thought having my engine dying was a difficult thing enough...But you know what? Life really doesn’t like it when I have things easy, ya know.
Well, I guess to crush all of my dreams of long term financial stability, our superiors just told me that they’re going to end our contracts without telling us who is converting. They didn’t even tell the other dudes, just me. This wasn’t supposed to happen, they were supposed to hire us before our contract ended. In fact, they told me that my contract would be extended for another year...but ya know, I live in a “right to work” state and all.
Instead, they’re going to get rid of all of us and “probably” give us a call. *sigh* Why did I get into IT? :(
Thankfully, I prepared for this. I lined up a full-time plan b (fuck contracts, fuck them hard) which I hope pays off. If it does, when my contract ends next Friday, all will be fine. If not....fuuuuuck me. A dying engine and no way to dig my way out? Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck...I’m so mad at myself right now.

Isn’t that the way of things, everything happens at once. I wish you luck in keeping/finding work.

Here’s hoping what you were trying to line up works out. At least if you do get the axe you might have something to fall back on. And good for you in being proactive about it.
I see no reason for you to be mad at yourself. You knew that the car might not be long for this world for a while now, right? You can’t help that. Sometimes shit happens at the worst time.
It sucks that life has heaped a double helping of crap on you right now, but you’ve been through a lot in life (probably more than most of us here will ever know), and you were strong enough to get through all of that. You can find a way with this too.
Or, you can just find a rich benefactor. lol
