So how does one overcome not having solid references?

No I was never fired I always Quit every job after a while. Either I was totally miserable, the boss got into a fight with me, I felt utterly bored, or I honestly could not get up in the morning and felt sick every day. Some were all of the above.

It's like I would start something new with a bang.. but then later it just goes downhill. I get written up for sick days, being late, get talked to because I am not a team-player or something.. etc.

I honestly don't know what direction to go. CAN ANYONE HELP ME?

Its like a catch 22.. I'm lonely and depressed about not having a GF so that is affecting career focus, but without a solid career its really difficult to keep a GF interested. I feel so trapped in this misery
