Anyone failed the 79 twice?

I just got a 125 / 175 today so yes my life sucks right now. (1st time)

Has anyone failed twice and not gotten fired? I know that after the 3rd time you are forced to take 6 months off before you can retry the exam. Anyone gotten to take it for a 3rd time? Everyone gets fired if you fail twice right?
