SDworkinggirl tells us more.
Okay so let me clarify some things that people are either stupid or confused about. I voluteered in an organization that has retirement homes all over the country, and helps seniors with limited means. I started volunteering, because it looks good on a resume and I was having a hard time getting a job. So I started volunteering at this retirement home, but I quickly grew to love it, and soon I was working hard because I truely enjoyed visiting with the seniors and delivering mail to them, among the other things I did there. Unknown to me, some of the residents started to complain about how I was nicer and more caring than most of the nurses. They didn't hire me because, I am not a nurse, and I don't have a college degree yet, so there was no position open for me. And the guy who "fired" me let me know why I was being let go, kinda in secret otherwise I doubt I would have been told why they let me go.

Did you know that things on TV can actually happen in real life? I know, this is a lot of information for you to take in...but; it can. OP-- That's...weird. But at least it was just volunteer work. You didn't get paid, so you didn't lose a money source. All you really lost is the feeling of self-accomplishment, I guess? They were really complimenting you. I hate to be one of those whiners complaining...but. This isn't really an FML. At all.
Did you know that people are so desperate that they'll lie to sound important even to complete strangers? I know it's a lot of information for you to take in...but, it can.
Lol @ Blink182. Exactly how I feel.
Wow really? thats pretty stupid of them. FYL
Look, Op is putting spin on this story. She is pissy about being fired from her volunteer job, she is just saying she was such a hard worker, when that probably wasn't why she was fired
big deal just get a part time job there and get paid for it
You should apply your skills to actually making money.
What kind of a response is that?! OP is firstly saying they don't have a degree yet and probably doesn't want to take any old crap job.
Holy ****, that's piss.
Motherfuckers be crazy, yo.
how does she deserve it for volunteering.. your dumb. maybe she was doing it for a good cause and actually wants to make a difference... unlike you do me a favor and shut up :)
#5 Fyl for being ignorant.. some people actually want to help people/animals out. it's called being thoughtful. not everything is about money.
WHAT THE **** IS WRONG WITH ME?
Now that's something to be ashamed to say. Is money everything you care about ? How about volontairing for a cause ? Because you actually want to help ?
Lol, why didn't they just hire you.
Exactly
Wow, **** YOU ALL.
I'm sorry.
that's south dakota for ya
