Today, my business partner told me that she can't be partners with me anymore. She took for granted that I could fill out a spreadsheet and calculate GST and PST without being shown. Of course it was my fault for not asking her to show me. Of course you can't show someone over the phone how to do things. I kept on screwing up with the spreadsheets and another mistake that I made is that I didn't get the name of all the customers. It also took me longer to get things organized the way she wanted the day of the telephone meeting than she expected. I knew this day was coming. I could just feel it. It also had to happen in a January. Nothing new there. People have historically broke things off with me in January. If I had the right supports, things would have run more smoothly. Of course I cried for a few minutes.

She took for granted that I could do all the things that she can do effortlessly.

GST and PST, you must be a Canadian then, eh?

I'm sorry to hear what happened with you business partner, working with others as an autistic can often be troublesome.

I hope you find another job that you are better suited to.

I asked her how to do all those things and she told me that she couldn't tell me over the phone. She didn't give me any training to show me those things. I'm better off without her.
