Today, I was fired from my volunteer job. Why? Because they said I was working so hard and doing such a good job that I was making the real staff look bad. FML
SDworkinggirl tells us more.
Okay so let me clarify some things that people are either stupid or confused about. I voluteered in an organization that has retirement homes all over the country, and helps seniors with limited means. I started volunteering, because it looks good on a resume and I was having a hard time getting a job. So I started volunteering at this retirement home, but I quickly grew to love it, and soon I was working hard because I truely enjoyed visiting with the seniors and delivering mail to them, among the other things I did there. Unknown to me, some of the residents started to complain about how I was nicer and more caring than most of the nurses. They didn't hire me because, I am not a nurse, and I don't have a college degree yet, so there was no position open for me. And the guy who "fired" me let me know why I was being let go, kinda in secret otherwise I doubt I would have been told why they let me go.

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Heeey, I just said 'No' in the moderating place to an FML like this last night - except it was about the guy losing his REAL job - not a volunteer job. Hmm..

Wow; #3; I didn't know I was trying to sound important. I was being bitchy. Not trying to make myself sound important. Thanks for letting me know. So don't make up some bullshit reason to be rude to me. Ohkay? Thanks, dumbass. (:

Yeah, I think I cleared that up when I said I was being bitchy (: Thanks for pointing it out to me, though. I'm a bitch when people are bitchy to me. Don't be an ass to me, and I won't be one to you (:
