| Probably going through a brutal 7-hour series of interviews and 4 additional phone interviews complete with full grilling of my technical knowledge with regard to microcomputer architecture when I was trying to get the job at Intel, only for them to not hire me. It was very humbling, considering I had been in college for 5 years trying to get a job like that. Looking back, I had no business working there, since microprocessors aren't really my area of expertise, but it was humbling to put in so much effort only to be denied at the very end. Just had to pick up my skirt and look for another job, and I think I did just fine :) |

Ironically, it was yesterday. Had medical semiotics exam and had to show on a patient how a manoeuvre was done. It was one of the simplest ones in the book, however I had skipped those and practiced a lot on the difficult ones.
In front of the hospital chief and the doctor that was taking care of my group, I failed big time with it at which point the chief asks me why I didn't study. Never felt so low in my entire ing life. I knew all the other stuff so passed with a high mark, but didn't even have the guts to look them in the eye.

Deal with patient as in examinations or how to handle them in conversations? |

| Personal support workers can't believe in God, because I'm pretty sure that they don't hire liars. |

well PSW's are a notch below other health care workers like Nurses. I think you're doing something much harder than me, so maybe I should know my role and shut my mouth. |

If I forced jesus on others at the facility, I'd probably get fired before they even throw a thrid strike. |

| God really does allow BS to occur, but I believe he has a master plan that will benefit the world in the end. |
