Kicking the man when he's not quite up.

So last night, my first as a Banquet Waiter, I was complimented by a woman who told me I was doing a wonderful job.  I thanked her and said it was my first night. "Well then," she said, "It seems you've found your calling!"  I know it was intended to be a compliment, but... I hope to hell she's not right.

Today, while taking the CBEST test so I can hopefully substitute teach starting in January one of the essay questions was, "Sometimes we learn from failure.  Describe a time when you failed, and what you learned from the experience.  Use supporting details."  I'm trying to get PAST the failures, and yet they keep getting brought back up.  As Strongbad would say, "HOLYCRAP!"  I guess I did okay on the essay, but it definitely was NOT something I wanted to ponder in the middle of a four hour test that could impact my job situation.
