I got hit with the shit stick.

I got an email from the Texas Board of Higher Education today saying that my name, address, loan amount, social security number, and drivers license number were on a laptop that was stolen recently, and that I should take preventive measures against identity theft. Thanks, Texas. On a less happy note, there's one other thing that's riding my spirits at the moment, and it's a much larger beast altogether. It's not for this place, however. I've seen how some things in personal lives get treated when expressed here, and I'm not in any mood for it. If you think you're worthy to share in my knowledge of misery, you can always IM me. Additionally, if you're religious, please include me in your prayers. Thanks

What you need to do is make a shit stick of your own to battle the shit stick that's been hitting you. On a more serious note, that really sucks, man. I hope you get everything sorted out fairly quick, and I perfectly understand your not wanting to post your personal problems here. I'm not going to message you and ask, because I'm not sure whether or not you'd want to talk to me anyway, but if you need to talk, I'm always open for it man. Good luck.
