Everyday I’m starting to believe more and more that depression is a contagious disease. Just being in the vicinity of some chronically depressed people is enough to get you feeling down as well and forces you to start wallowing about your own life. I guess I can’t generalize, but many people are susceptible to this form of telepathic pathogen.
And Rick got the Pink slip!

If you're not aware of the term "Pink slip", it means, someone got laid off. They were fired or "Tfannash" as they would say in the Gulf area.
Rick, my cross-dressing, retirement age, depressed, single neighbor was handed his pink-slip last week. The poor man was 1 year away from retirement, now he doesn't know what to do
After working for 30 years at his company, waking up at 3AM to be on site by 4AM. He, along with at least 3 million other Americans are now jobless, in what appears to be, the greatest depression since the great depression.
Let me tell you this, the situation is so bleak, that you really can't start to imagine the real dimensions of this global catastrophe, trust me, this tidal wave is heading OUT from its epicenter in the industrialized world and it will swipe away more than we can imagine
No matter where you are in this fragile world. Strange though, Depression in both meanings is spelled the same way!
