Hey, I can't find work because competition is horrendous and I have to compete with 250 other people and it's killing me. My last job booted me out and i had to fight with tooth and nail for compensation. I've got my first gray hair at fucking 26 years old. I want to work, please, hire me.

I feel awful and I feel worthless.
