i lost 6 jobs within the past 5 yrs, I dont look for jobs anymore, i concentrate more on how to live without them, i dont need the disappointment that comes with getting a job and then losing it for a dumb reason.
What sort of reasons? I was fired from a job some years ago. It wasn't totally unexpected and was an entirely justified decision on the former employer's part.
one was cause i was para aide subbing and they didnt think i could run after kids if they left the playground cause of my hip implants so they stopped calling me, i was tutoring but they never had any jobs after 3 months, i was in a calling center that put me on leave, another one suspended me for a computer mistake so i quit, another one i got a 73 on a test during training instead of the 85 they wanted so another one down the toilet, my last one i was hanging out samples in the stores and this lady came to train me, she saw how short i was 4ft5 and the next thing i know they were calling me saying i couldnt do it anymore
I am the king of fail. As I have bragged about before, I raced motorcycles for some 25 years. Hundreds of races. Only won a few times. FailfailfailFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
I dont DO failure.. seriously I don't... whatever I do, I do it to the max and make sure I won't fail.. it's not even enough for me to do just enough to scrape by .. I have to do everything to the max.. So i don't do failure.. I avoid it like the plague.. I have no idea what I'd do if I did fail...if I get a set back I usually just work even harder to find ways to navigate round it/take a different route..
All I could think of for an answer was this Aimee Mann song from a favorite movie of mine "magnolia." Mann wrote and sang several songs in the movie. Then, all of a sudden, all the numerous characters in the movie start singing along with Aimee on the soundtrack, all within their characters. One of the best damn scenes ever for me -- it was best when it came out of nowhere the first time I watched the movie. Sorry for a quasi-plot spoiler.
The song is "Wise Up" - - I tried watching it just now but got too upset already in the first 15 seconds -- the entire scene moves me tremendously - - so I don't have the lyrics memorized but there's a lot of ". . . . it's not going to stop until you wise up."
Except for the ending -- it goes something like this --
"It's not going to stop, so just - - - give up."
Kicks ass.
Here's the scene; it's not very long.
