I cant believe i believed this...i thought that getting fired meant that you did something wrong in work so they gave you a burn or a cut. It was all my dads fault. He was a carpenter so often he would get cuts. He would tell my mom that he did something wrong like doing this to fast and he would get cut. I also heard him say once that Ralph, a man who worked for him, got hurt because he was doing things half fast so he had to fire him.
