I tend to spiral with any kind of bad news.  What I received the warning for I used to do quite well at but the last few months my success at it had been declining.   

Now what makes me worked up about it is that since they gave me the warning about it now I know they’ve taken notice and will continue to watch me on it, therefore if I don’t start to improve again it will get escalated and eventually lead to more severe of a disciplinary punishment than just a simple warning and ultimately lead to termination.  

It seems to be a pattern with jobs I have had, I don’t know why my best just isn’t good enough and eventually people take notice and at some point I’m just on borrowed time.   I just actually don’t mind the job that I’m on now and would prefer to keep it.  I just hope that my efforts will be enough to not be let go again.
