This is a question Why should you be fired from your job?

I spent three years "working" in the Ministry of Agriculture carefully crafting projectiles out of folded paper and drawing pins that I would then fire at colleagues with an elastic band. On discovering I'd been conducting all-out warfare when I should really have been in a field counting cows, I was asked to "reconsider my career options" outside the service.

Why, then, should you be fired from your job?

Because I get paralysed by fear
I'm so inherently insecure that I'm convinced that whatever I do, I'll mess it up.

Then eventually, as the deadlines approach, my fear of pissing people off overcomes my fear of messing up. I then work like a hound, stressed out, shouting at people around me and generally being a bastard. I get the job done, it works, and everyone seems happy.

Except me.

Because I know if I could kill the terror I'd be able to be better than just OK. Or less stressed out.
