Yes, I am. And I see a some job openings for Milwaukee Sportservice at Miller Park, some at Petco ( I hope I really get) Goodwill, Hospital Food Service and a bunch of dishwasher jobs.

I'm really hoping for Petco. I would love to be around some animals even though don't have much experience. Couldn't volunteer for humane society because I don't have health insurance or a doctor.

When I was in high school and nervous about doing a presentation in front of a class, my dad told me that I am the expert for this presentation topic and also just imagine everyone sitting there in their underwear. That helped a lot, to the point I was almost laughing during my presentation. So go to that job fair and remember that you are the expert about you -- and you've proven that by narrowing down the resume to fit the kinds of jobs you would be good at. You might want to skip the underwear visuals, though.

Petco would probably be putting products in their right places in the storeroom once they come off delivery trucks and then cases and crates on pallets into the store, stocking shelves, facing the items, keeping the shelves stocked, doing inventory, cleaning cages of the small animals and maybe fish tanks -- sounds like a job I would like too. The biggest challenge would be to learn how to deal with customers who want to find something in the store and see you working there, so will ask for help.

Lol. I feel better now for some reason thank you.

People asking me for help wouldn't be a problem. I would show them and go back to what I was doing. No biggie. The problem would be if they wanted to start a conversation. Or had to sale something, or give out cash basically working the front cashier.

Wow 100 + for a counseling session? It's cheaper to just dull everything with alcohol.

My son worked for Osco during high school, was a stock clerk, and never was asked to do any cashiering. My Asperger's friend from my writers' group is a stock clerk for Walgreen's and has never touched the cash register -- not part of his job description. If someone tries to engage him in conversation, he just says, "Sorry. Gotta keep working or I'll get fired."

Don't believe everything you read. At Catholic Charities we charged $25 or whatever you could pay per session. My uncle paid a psychiatrist $3/session based on his non-existent income. I've had clients who got counseling from me on a barter system.

Guess just got to suck it up and call them hun.. *yawn* think I am going to sleeep

I'm reading some symptoms and I think I may have atypical depression, the over eating and over sleeping is spot on also possibly avoidant personality disorder but not as severe. And thinking about it, I had it for quite awhile. Heh. Wouldn't have guessed.

And this social isolation isn't healthy for my age but most of the time don't really want people around me. The more people around me the more I feel irritated and needing to escape or be alone for awhile. But at the same time I don't like being alone with one person because the pressure of having to talk is draining. Just too much.-.-

Lost all care for my appearance and personal hygiene. I could go months without brushing my teeth, washing my hair or showering. All my clothes are too tight for me because keep gaining weight. And it feels like a chore even waking up. The longest I went without leaving the house at all was about 6 months. Sleeping, about 3 days straight.

Don't know how to get out of this funk.

Counselor.

You don't have to be Catholic, and there is no mention of religion. I did one of my internships at CC near Chicago (and I'm Lutheran). And you will keep me informed when you call and what they said and what you said and how it went, right?

And then we will have a party to celebrate your first appointment, right?

I've decide I'm not going to eat or sleep until you make your first appointment. :)

Whoops! I can't do that -- then you'd have something else beyond your control to feel guilty about. Never mind. I'll have to think of something else to guarantee you will make that call. I'd love to call you myself, but Ben would kill me (not allowed).
