Failing at Life

So, the new job that I liked, that I took a pay cut for, that I thought I was excelling at didn’t like me back.  Just short of my probationary period ending I was told that I did not seem happy there and, therefore, was not a good fit.  Yes, there were things about the company that I did not feel warm and cuddly about, some of the other staff in particular, but I didn’t feel like I was complaining or displaying any sort of bad attitude.  I have worked for places that I hated, so I know what it looks like when I am obviously disdainful of my employer.  I haven’t been fired since I was telemarketing back in the early 90s, which I was truly terrible at and embarrassed to be doing in the first place.

I completed some errands today, submitted some resumes and am baking a cake to take to a pot-luck at a friend’s house.  If feels like the last time I was unemployed, just a couple of months ago, except that it sucks so very much.  My goal is to be employed again by November 1st.  My other goal is to actually meet the people that I will be working with before I commit this time.  I believe that it all came down to personality and mine was the wrong one.

  1. We’re not failing at life. We’re achieving at awesome. It’s good that we’re experiencing this now, so when we become rich off of purely being awesome, we’ll know what to do with our time.

    I’m saying screw all responsibility until Monday, man.
