^Thank you. This job starts at $50K, and is one of the best jobs around, without a college degree. It will change my life.

Yeah, thats for only 14 days a month, not including the abundant optional overtime. My friend just started in Feb. and already made $30K. I could potentially make $75K+ if I work some overtime. That's why I'm so nervous.

Wow, that's awesome!!
Try to practice interviewing skills with someone. This might sound strange coming from an aspie, but practice eye contact, it can mean a lot in an interview.

^ True - I have learned to talk to people's chins, and they don't notice that I don't see their eyes.

I had an interview a couple months ago with 5 interviewers. It wasn't that bad, because I could look back and forth, and never really make continous eye contact with any of them.

I talk to their eyebrows or nose ^^'
Truth of me: I spend WAY too much time with my nephew, to the point where he often picks me over his parents when asked who he wants to be with for things like swimming or shopping, and he often does things I do no matter how hard they try to train him out of it (i.e going "WHAT?!?!" when someone says something, often not even in reference to what they say.) Though I guess it might be good when he's older and gets mad at his parents - he always has Auntie 'Leelah' (yes the child doesn't pronounce it 'Lily' but rather 'Leelah'.) to run to. |

I try to be fair but in actuality it is hard to play fair with those who don't play fair.

Good luck, i`ve had some jobs here that paid around the same, and i have
no papers whatsover, clean sheet. It was hard manual labour, but hey anyway,
i dont mind. Lots of fun also, beacuse theres often the same kind of people
who have these jobs. We used trucks to load and unload stuff amongst other
things, and you wouldn`t belive the accidents, nobody got seriously hurt or anything
while i was there, but for example, a guy driving a truck at full throttle doesn`t pay
attention, takes a sharp turn and rams the forks through the back end of a car
that driving by straight through the windows of a $120,000 car, that was something else |

Never mind, I'm tired of ranting and complaining. It won't do any good.

I have the nagging suspicion that my father tries to see everything I do on the computer.
