Did you walk/move onto something better or were you sacked?

My first job was when I was 18 (going on 19). I was a cleaner in a place where buses from the ends I was living in at that time didn’t travel to that early in the morning (I did the 6am shifts), so my manager and I decided I’d be better-off cycling into work. Before I even got a chance to bring ’round and be about the cycle ting I was sacked for just being out of my depth and not having much of a clue what I was doing (similar to the management in one filthy placed I worked at years later). Little did I know that I’d eventually become an essential-oil/borax/sodium-bicarb./white vinegar/holy liquid-manna (diluted quail/duck/goose water)/sugar-soap/salt/potpourri/chlorine bleach/washing-up liquid cleaning buff having everywhere in my environment spick-and-span and earning an accommodating reputation for it and being the cordial ghost-cleaner (naturally only outside of low periods) but when I was 18 the best thing I did on that front was do a bit of self-contained cleaning in my flat. I wasn’t ready for the professional-cleaning life and that was obvious to my manager. We parted on better terms than we could’ve but ultimately I got canned after five days after lying through my teeth about having previous paid cleaning experience. And that was that.
