I'm quitting my job. That's another story, but my point here is to see if anyone here is looking for an employee. I'm an undiagnosed Aspie, and I don't want a job with customer service of any sort. I'm very logical, organized, and efficient; I love working with computers, but I'm open to learning almost anything (as long as it doesn't include a lot of social interaction with endless people all day). My current job is a kennel cleaner at my city's humane society. All the (decent) people there would have have vouched for me that I'm a good worker and a good person.

I'm being honest and frank here because I just tried doing an online application for JC Penny's and got kicked because their computers told me I don't fit the job requirements. I just don't believe that a computerized system of 60 cookie cutter questions can decide who's right for a job. -- And the job I was applying for was a support specialist, someone who organizes and stocks things. Something I would be great at, and enjoy.

I'll stop now because thinking about it more just keeps getting me madder.

It would help if you posted location. But I doubt aspies are high enough on the social totem pole to be in charge of other employees.
