Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Tyranny
Today, while teaching swimming to a bunch of five year-olds, one particularly bratty girl decided she didn't want to swim and led the entire class to strike, leaving the pool empty, and me without a job. Apparently I was teaching the next world tyrant to swim. FML

Today, I had to go take swimming lessons because my mom has a fear I'll drown and I'm totally afraid of swimming anyway and never get anywhere near water. My instructor? A high school classmate of mine. My fellow swimming classmates? 5 and 6 year old kids. FML

Today, I found out that a co-worker of mine that I had originally hired, trained, and mentored to work in my department for the past 4 years had just got the promotion that I had applied for. He is now my boss. FML

Today, while working my job as a swim instructor, my coworker sprayed me with the hose. I instinctively held up what I was holding to block the cold water. I was holding a 4 year-old. FML

Today, I went into a job interview for Quizno's. The boss there talked to me for an hour and half about everything on God's green earth. She noticed I was a certified swim instructor. I left Quizno's with no job, but with an appointment to teach the boss how to swim tomorrow at 9 a.m. FML

You obviously must not be good enough. Sucks for you. Literally, you must just suck at your job.

Like they're bad at swimming because they suck in the water?

You should embarrass them by telling everyone how old they were before they learnt to swim.

#72 Yeah make fun of people because they're successful and you're bitter about it instead of being happy for them. This is as stupid as someone would say to a professional athlete "Ha-ha you had to learn how to walk when you were a toddler!"

This is one of the many things that's wrong with the workplace these days. People with absolutely no seniority, and a lot of times no education or experience, get better jobs than those who have worked at the same place for several years and deserve the promotion. And why? Usually because the new person knows one of the higher-ups, or their parents do, or they know someone else who does, etc. It's not what you know anymore, it's who you know, and that's not the way it should be. It's sickening...sorry OP.

You're absolutely right... It's either who you know or someone younger that they can pay less because the person that's actually put their fair share of time would cost the business too much payout. It's not fair and it's not right. But what the hell are we gonna do...
