I just got let go from my job basically because I didn't have sunshine coming out of my butt everyday. :)

I have never been able to hide my emotions very well, especially when I don't like doing something. Funny thing though is that my significant other is the only person in the world that doesn't see my heart on my sleeve, but that's another story...

I didn't like my job very much but it was okay and it was getting better...or so I thought. I knew I didn't want to be there, and they knew it too, so here I am. I always did my work, and I did it well. I'm sure there were a few add traits that didn't go well with the job I had but they never mentioned it to me and I thought I made up for my shortcomings.

Up until about 3 years ago I changed jobs a lot, but it was always because I was moving, or going back to school...no big deal. But last year I got let go after 2 years (cause I hung up on the boss's wife when she yelled at me...she deserved it) and just this week I got let go from the same type of job, different company, for really no reason at all.

I'm currently in school in an area I want to have a career in but it's not looking good for job prospects at the moment. I am afraid I will always be unhappy in my work and because of that I won't be able to keep a job. Add to that the add traits that are small enough for employers to notice, but not mention and let me work on. It's frustrating because I dont want to tell an employer about my add for fear of getting treated differently or even gettign fired, but if I don't tell them I get let go because of my add traits anyways.

I'm just really frustrated and upset because it feels like I'm getting the short end of the stick. I know I have to work at things and that nothing is really easy, add or not. I'm just stressed about everything right now.

Thanks for listening :)

I'm sorry to hear that :( thing's were going down hill for me, the only thing that saved me in my job was seniority and the union... Soo what did I do to improve things... I admitted I have issues#1.. I spent time researching things I can do, or take to improve things#2.... and I decided to go see a doctor for depression, initially it was just for the depression but once that was taken care of the things that were masked by its encompasing destructive cloak were released and the "real me" was visible to myself.. and I didn't like what I saw.. and I knew people didn't either.. I discovered I had spent 3yrs treating my fiance like poo poo, so I wanted to change. I want to be better for her, she deserves better... So I'm improving things one step at a time.. deal with every issue and eventually you will be left with nothing but you, and no veils to obscure who you are, and you'll be happier that you did it.

Yikes, amythyst! I am so sorry. You don't say how old you are, but when I was in my 20's I went through a handfull of jobs because of being emotional and "speaking my mind." With age I have learned some wisdom and temperence, but the tendency is still there! It still stinks and is still scary until someting new and better comes along, and it will, Amythyst. Hang in there.
