Default I just got Fired

Well...as soon as I pulled in to work behind my building, my boss met me at my car and told me things weren't working out and he was sorry. This happened because yesterday I was in a little incident on the road (I'm a delivery guy). I bumped into a girl yesterday causing little damage to her car and none to the S-10 that I was in. My fault, I know, and that's what I told the cop and everybody else...because it was. That incident wouldn't have gotten me fired if I wouldn't have totalled another company vehicle about 2 months ago or so. But that wasn't my fault...I was at a stoplight, it turned green, I went and some chick coming down the road I was crossing ran her red light and I t-boned her. It totalled the '90 Explorer I was in...but like I said, it wasn't my fault. It's just not fair that I worked my ass off for my boss/company only to get fired for one accident that was actually my fault...and I even called the company as soon as it happened. Delivery guys before me and even one that's still there have been in accidents at work and not said anything at all!!! I did my best but I guess it wasn't good enough. Now I have to find a job so that I can pay my bills...which sucks. Oh well...maybe this is the opportunity for me to do something great...who knows.

Thanks for reading

It doesn't really matter what type of job. But I need to be working 40 hrs/week and making atleast $10 p/hour. No fast food or anything, don't have the patience. I'm talking to a company right now that makes Routers (non-computer routers) and starting at $10.50...but it's not looking good right now.

That sucks..you were totally honest with them from the start and they do that? They sound like shits. Hmm..pity you didn't tell them about the "other" incidents they don't know about, eh? You obviously weren't racing anywhere as that would have caused serious damage, and if you're forever worrying about the consequences of doing the slighest thing wrong, you're better of outa there IMO.

As has been said before, I am a firm beleiver in fate - things happen for a reason, and something will come along. You won't look back.

It's there loss because someone with your skills (honesty and a caring nature being just two), deserve better than that. You'll get there m8.

All the best
