I'm a Ops Support Assistant II and a Cashier Part-Time. Not really fond of either one. I would rather work at home. All the communication expectations are very taxing on my mental processes. I seem to be tired allot and when working I get fixated on thinking about my penny collection or the conversation I last had hoping it went well. Yesterday I was so hyper-focused on some pennies I bought on E bay that I forgot that I already approve something in the system and opened up a ticket because I thought the reason they were not there was because they never came into the system. So I guess one could say I get distracted by my thoughts often. Luckily my co workers thought it was hilarious. So, if I could work at home I would buy and sell pennies.

technical property manager. work 7 days a week. very stressful, very lonely, and the pay really sucks. I'm too poor to go anywhere or do anything... except work every day.
I was unemployed for a couple years before that.. it was horrible. I stayed home almost every day, didnt do anything, and was hungry and cold (couldnt afford much in food or energy bills).
I am not any happier now than I was when I was unemployed. I feel a little more hopeless if anything. I'm one of the only ones in this company who has never gotten a serious raise (and after 3 years I would have to put that on my low self-esteem problem).
Work is just as isolating as school was... nobody talks to me.. nobody ever invited me for lunch/dinner/hanging out... people treat me like I just landed on a flight from sierra leone with a fever.. I mean it's just aweful.

Right now a contractor as getting out of school with a degree means nothing without work experience so I pretty much work full-time at different companies through a staffing agency. I also work part-time as a soda merchandiser.
