When life screwed you?

When my straw doesn't go into Capri Sun first time

When you pour a cup of tea and then realise the milk is gone sour.

Been trying for the last 23 years to get into a certain line of work, one that's autonomous and very well remunerated, and constantly receive knockbacks, failing the tests and interviews by the skin of my teeth, passed some of the tests last year only to be told that the company's pass mark was higher but the results were an industry pass. Another company acknowledged the test results but told me after their interview I'd marginally hadn't got through. Still trying though.

Especially galling though is that a couple of lads I knew only decided to try this line of work because I'd told them about it, they went straight in and have been on about €60K a year for the last 20 odd years, no begrudgery to them individually but this issue isn't so much a monkey on my back more like the global primate populace. :mad:
