    I live in Milwaukee, WI but please don't call or do anything you're already helping too much >.< I don't want to waste your time at all. :/ That Amazon warehouse job sounds awesome. Amazon was hiring once but it was in Madison. Waaay too far.

    News flash -- I called the Milwaukee PL reference desk and asked about page jobs (you have to be a student in high school or college), so that is out. Their website has .pdf applications for employment and volunteer, but nothing sounds like your kind of thing at the main library right now. She said you should call various suburban library branches that you'd be able to get to, since each have their own needs and job openings. BUT, she told me that they highly recommend this particular job site, so give it a look --

    Milwaukee, Wisconsin Jobs & Careers

    This one sort of sounds like it might be down your alley, but not sure if the location would work for you -- under Warehouse --

    Position: 836 Warehouse Attendant
    Company: Caterpillar
    Job Location(s): South Milwaukee, WI
    Start Date: As soon as possible

    Yeah that's too bad I got accepted into community college but I can't go yet until March I think.. I don't really know for sure haven't asked but I did need to register for classes. :/

    Wooooaah location isn't that bad since it's in Milwaukee but this job sounds like it's for a very strong man with experience in those type of heavy machine. I don't think its right for me at the moment even if the experience is "open."

    But seriously though what- I'm speechless your doing so much for some loser online. Thank you. Now need to do my part.

    That daily weekly newspapers that you were talking about. Lol. Sigh and I'm so giddy, excited, and happy right now. I like someone very much he may or may not like me back but he's just so wonderful. And feel very good about jobs now that my resume looks decent. Goodness this feeling is wonderful haven't felt like this in a looong time. Oh and umm, I see a posting for Goodwill that I applied too a long time ago and got an intriew but I screwed up the questions badly because of very bad anxiety and they never called me back. Should I apply again and hope they won't remember me? Lol

    Should I remove the newspaper delivery girl section?

    So the resume otherwise is good?

    Yes, reapply for the Goodwill job. Too bad I can't role-play with you on the phone. I'd turn you into Miss Personality.

    Yep. The resume is fine now.

    Oh and please on the phone I'm worse than in person. No matter how much I prepare I can't seem to stop the nerves in interviews. I had 10+ interviews before and they all were failures.

    I forget my lines or say something stupid because I'm taking to long to respond. -.- It feels more like an interrogation than a supposedly "conversation." I get so worked up and all I can think is "Why am I here?" "Why does this person keep asking me all these questions!?" " "I need to escape."

    My younger son had come over with Arby's, so we sat here for two hours chatting. He just left, so I am back with you.

    Would you be okay in an interview regarding a warehouse job, knowing you could handle the work?

    Unless you can build a time machine and stop me from being born back send me back in June 2011. Then I don't think you or anyone can help. I need some cash, maybe I can find a way to sell myself on the streets.. I don't know.

    The question is then how can I stop feeling so guilty about everything? Everything single thing in my life was a failure.and now the thing I want most is fading fast because I'm so stupid to do anything about it.
