Ever go thru a time in life when you constantly quit jobs?

I keep doing that lately. I actually feel I am starting to blame employers and the antiquated system in general. All jobs should be a trial for the first few days. How can you possibly know you will like something that is new to you? A place you've never worked before, don't know how it's run, how you are going to be treated, what kind of paperwork/red tape you are going to and up with, what stinky person is going to sit next to you clipping their nails, how mind numbing it truly is going to be, on and on. I have good longevity in the past but this last year, I've wanted to quit after the first day a couple of times. I think I might tell them I'm going to quit tomorrow, after just working a day today. HATED IT! Another job I worked 3 days and quit. Another job I worked as a seasonal worker, then I came back and did a different position and quit after 4 days. It's getting stupid. And I'm sorry but I'm not going to put this on my work history. I am honest in every other way. Never done a drug, never committed a crime, would never take a speck from anyone, but I do not have to reveal everything about the bad year I have had. Too bad. One bad year is not going to tarnish my stellar past.

I want to quit everyone I have ever had. If I did not need the paycheck I would not stay with them. I have quit a few.

@SW-User I was so hoping I would win that lottery!

@dawnmill Me too. I had my ticket and had full faith I would get it. I Just want to be free from the working world.

@SW-User Yeah! Me too! I At a previous job, me and a coworker would sit there and put a battery operated candle by our ticket and we'd pray over it and do chants. We were mostly being silly, but pretty serious too. But seriously, I think I'm going to try to just clean one house a day or every other day or something and be semi-broke, as my husband doesn't make a ton but we don't have too many bills.

@dawnmill That may be the way to go. It will give a little extra income but will still free you up most days. I wish I could find a part time job. I live alone and have to take care of everything. So I either work or be homeless. I choose work.
