I generally have to throw a ton of shit at the wall before learning whatsticks (and no, it is no longer literally shit). To the misfortune of all theemployers I’ve left in my wake, it was well worth it.Evidence of the low point otherwise known as Catholic school.Before the tale of my litany of shitty jobs began, I attended tenschools in my twelve years of education. Because we moved, becauseour financial situation changed, because I hated it. By the time I was inthird grade, my parents didn’t know what to do with me—I got in troublefor being “off task,” reading a dictionary in the back of the classroom.Some miracle qualified me to be placed in a rapid-learner program inthird grade, which ended up being a joke—we read newspapers on thefloor all day and my teacher “didn’t believe in math.” Obviously, this wasnot the solution, so I was then placed in Catholic school. And guesswhat? That didn’t work either!No matter where I went, I was an outsider (and generally led withpoop humor, which didn’t make me many friends). I got along as well withthe cool kids as I did with the nerds. That spirit of forced tourism, alongwith my quickly learned survival mechanisms, eventually also made iteasy to jump from job to job. Fortunately, the economy was in good
shape when I began working at the age of fifteen, which allowed me toget a job, quit, and get hired again very easily. I was never disappointedwhen a particular job didn’t work out, since I’d already lived an entire lifefeeling so far out of place that I’d given up hope that any one thing, place,person, or occupation could be my calling.
