I got fired today. I was working in a group home and fell asleep on the overnight shift. Even though I was fired from twenty-one jobs now, I still feel I can work. I was a teacher for 4 years the only reason that stopped was more teachers with certification signed up on the sub list. So I can do it!! I had a heads up that this was happening..I had a few days to brace myself..what hurt the most was the tone of the supervisor, she seemed personally attacked. Also I will miss my residents they were sweet. In some ways I'm glad I will have more time now. In some ways I could feel my mental illness lurking in the background and when they said I was doing a good job I wanted to scream, "Im mentally ill though!!" I was fired so many times I don't know how not to get fired. As a substitute teacher you can start all over a afresh every day. I am good one of the times I was fired it was simply cause I's worked there before I actually did nothing wrong. All different reasons, all saying I'm good at my job until doom day. This hurts. I'm going to miss the sweet little residents.
