I'd love to hold down a steady job, at the very least, enough to live on my own.
When I think I'm doing OK/moderately decent, or when significant amounts of pressure to do well comes out of nowhere, is when chances rise significantly that something gets fucked up.
I usually don't realize the fuck up until after the fact, when I think I was able to handle it well, or to the best of my ability, or implement a temporary place holder until whatever can be better resolved at a later time. Usually am not around for that time, when I've been shown the door & it's been passed along for someone else to resolve.
give me an example

I'm the guy who posted Iliad in its entirety in the NEF thread. Anyone remember that? xD

Would waste an hour trying to figure out where 1 screw in a laptop went, and not figure it out. Then be chewed out by the boss about it.
It's not falling apart, is it?

I accidentally outright broke an iPod touch when I was supposed to simply replace a screen. After I've already done the exact same thing 4 or 5 times before without issue.
Not only did I get chewed out by the boss for a half hour, but I also had to get chewed out by the customer.

sounds more like you work at shitty places, you need to find a better job
