2009 has been the worst year of my life. Oh, it hasn’t been all bad, but the highlights are small in number versus the losses. I’m ready to see the last of this stupid year. I’m ready for it to be buried in history. C’mon, 2010. Let’s start fresh. ---

Bram was born, and I finally got rid of this stupid gallbladder and I finally got my shit together and started school. But there was also wicked post-partum insanity, and just general social drama bullshit, and 2010 brings me to my graduation year! So yeah, I concur. Bring it on. ---

Hey, I got this little cutie this year: [My new daughter!](http://www.flickr.com/photos/14728857@N05/4084024427/) She was born in 2008, though…just barely. 🙂 ---

I didn’t have any major disasters or tragedies this past year. But…starting almost exactly a year ago it’s been an almost continual series of pain-in-the-ass, bullshit. Yes, I’ve had a good year in some ways but bring on '10 ---

2009 wasn’t bad. It started great, then deteriorated. June sucked. July and August were awesome. September had its highlights. It’s been a mixed bag ever since. But I full expect 2010 to be as good as 2008. I never want to live 2007 again. ---

The last half of 2008 and 2009 were the shit times for me. I’m hoping I can make 2010 something really good. ---

Amen. Absolute worst year of my life by far. Cannot think of one good thing that happened the entire year other than we managed to somehow hang on to everything we had worked for our entire lives by just barely and through a hell of a lot of hard work, worry and tears. Just one bad thing after another. Pretty scared to even get out of bed most days fearing what was going to kick my ass that day. I got very strong this year and it turned me into a first class depressed bitch that nobody wants to be around. Turning a leaf, getting positive and putting a smile on my face for this next year. Wishing all here the very best in 2010–it can only be better… ---

> [@tdn](#): > > 2009 wasn’t bad. It started great, then deteriorated. These are my feelings as well. This year started out pretty good, but in May things went steadily and quickly downhill, culminating in what was undoubtedly the worst summer of my life. The only thing that keeps me going is the thought that 2010 can’t possibly be any worse. ---

This has been a pretty piss-poor decade, all things considered. Started with me waiting for a bomb to blow up, continued through a recession and a depression and a few terror attacks and all kinds of other crap. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2009-sucks-bring-on-2010/521263.md?page=2)
