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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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."Quote:

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.
How do I find a good one?Quote:

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?Quote:

Aww, shucks! Now that your counting on it I HAVE to do it. I'm kidding. Yes, then we can celebrate.Quote:

Aww man.. Ben is your husband? LolQuote:

No, Ben is the admin on this site and watches us like a hawk. My husband just started his 32nd annual diet, so he has other things on his mind.Quote:

Seriously though, I might as well call couldn't hurt. I just kind of phobic about call people especially if its about a job or making an appointment..
My husband surrendered all the cookies (cheap ones from Walmart) he had hidden near his computer. We'll see how long this diet lasts. He's already getting ornery from lack of sugar.
Heh, I'm the same way. Though It wouldn't be so easy for me to surrender my sugar fix. I'm rooting for him, seriously isn't easy to give up the sugar!Quote:

Meanwhile, he relieved all his stress by eating everything he isn't supposed to. Now there are all sorts of cookies lying around. I should give them to the food pantry.
Great, I'm left alone with my sisters kids again. Just because I don't go out I'm now the designated baby sitter. Can't even have weekends alone. -.- And if I try to say something about it I get yelled at wth?
How old are they? Girls? Boys? A mix?
Oh that sounds pretty cool. Never been to Utah before. Looks like nothing but a bunch of rocks and mountains, dirt and hotness. LOL please don't tell me he actually wrestle mountain lions... wouldn't go near them with a 10 foot pole. Sucks about him Mom though what she die of? For stress he should take a trip somewhere. Getting away from the scenery is always nice, no? Haha.Quote:

I never said that. Another counselor won't either.Quote:
