Why oh why.

Recently I was let go from my job. Why? Is my main concern. The paper they gave to terminate me said without cause. Should I have taken them to the labour board? Too late now as they made me sign a document within 5 days to get my severence.. So I did. In these times one needs money. With the holidays coming and all. So now I'm left biting scraps off of the jobless world. I found a job answering phones for a call center.. what a treat this is. I get paid minimum wage.. which I can understand why, I've definatly perfected my bubble shooter game.. . . I take an average of 12 calls a day, work shitty hours, and put up with people that are far from intelligent. They too don't take alot of calls and spend alot of their time shooting the shit with eachother. Believe me it's all crap that they talk about.. One girl claims to know EVERYTHING! the other whines about a man that dumped her 4 years ago... She even has a new boyfriend. People complain about taking in calls that they feel they are over qualified for... Buddy! We are all overqualified for this job.. we have opposable thumbs... JEEZ! Oh well this is life right.. I'm not the only one out here feeling sorry for myself.
I keep telling myself it could be worse... but I'm running out of things that could make this worse. .. . any ideas on what could be worse than
Losing your job a month before Christmas, then taking an almost $6.00 pay cut. Having to work New year's, only got a GED, just got married in September and my husband keeps saying he wants to go back to school so he can get a real job.. but won't because " I don't like school". Your rent is getting jacked up another 180 bucks in January... for a one bedroom SHACK! That you can't even put a Christmas tree up in without having to put your front door out of service until the tree comes dow. Gain so much weight that your new wedding rings don't fit... Your work with the examples given above..
I'm sure there's more, I'm just getting to bored of complaining... hopefully something good will come my way to get me out of my funk... does anyone have any ideas?
