Triaged. Fucking....fuck.

I am a postdoc. My PI's claim to fame is that all of her grad students and postdocs have had F31/F32 applications funded on the first try.

Well, not any more. I just got triaged.

This is the third (of three) funding applications I have failed to get funded in 2014.

The fourth of four for my lifetime.

My batting average is 0.000000.

Fucking fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

But this is normal....right? Or is it a sign I am in the wrong business?

Rejection is completely normal. Feeling shitty about it is too. beating your head against a door that won't open is not normal. but that's what it takes to be an academic.

It generally gets better for people as they continue down the road. As your publications increase and you know more people in the field and as your experience and skills increase. But it never appears to get easy. 

So either you enjoy the pain, you grow a big fat callous on your head, you find other ways of being successful in your chosen field (apply for money elsewhere, go to a small school with no grad students, marry a super-rich spouse who funds you...) or you get out and do something less soul-sucking. Only you can answer these questions and time and patience is needed regardless, so good luck and best wishes!
