Today, on my first day of work, I got fired after 45 minutes. FML

Classic case of overexcitement once you find out you can photocopy your butt.

Maybe this is a YDI, there's not enough information, but you'd have to do something pretty severe to get fired in less than an hour.

Being fired that soon into a new job happens surprisingly often, and it's not always the case of someone doing something completely egregious. I've heard of many instances, and I've had to do it myself three times, two of which were clear (IMHO) YDIs, although one was debatable: The first was because it was discovered that the person had lied on his resume. (Inflated job title and responsibilities at a previous job, and a fabricated job to cover a period of unemployment. Discovered by the HR rep who signed him in, as she and him ended up having a shared work history. The world is smaller than most people think.) He lasted about one hour. Another time it happened because the person was a disrespectful pain in the ass, and I have a low tolerance for high-maintenance wankers. Seriously, this guy was totally sweet in the interview process, but unbelievable once he was in the office. He lasted until 3pm, and the team applauded when he was escorted out by security. The third was a tougher call, and one of those dodgy situations that I hate, having to reconcile human decency with the long-term good of the team: after the person had accepted my job offer, I received a resume from a rock-star candidate with an internal referral. I could only afford one of them, so when the person on his first day showed that he wasn't as strong as we had hoped, I let him go at the end of the day (with one month's severance), in order to land the rock star. And these incidents are pretty mundane. If you want a bottomless supply of crazy-weird workplace stories, befriend your local HR rep. They live in the nexus of office weirdness.

What you may have done implies that there will, in fact, be buttsecs.

No shes right. You gotta go to college most of the time but there's still enough places that hire without it and turn it into a career that you'll like.

Well, OP, since you got fired, just remember anyone can be a prostitute... As long as you remember to cup the balls. That's the golden rule to prostitution.
