So I told everyone about a sales job I got selling appliances. Well, turns out I am not doing THAT bad, especially since I panic inside with nearly everyone I talk to. I am earning enough to pay my bills and have money left over for other things as well. It is nice that the sales manager is actually understanding of the Asperger's thing and actually took the time to look it up on Wikipedia.

Thanks. I am honestly surprised I have lasted as long as I have.

Hi Scott,

Congratulations! I'm glad your manager has begun to understand your neurology.

My fingers are crossed for you!

I'm sorry to hear that! I'm hoping that there will be an even better job for you in the future.

I'm sorry, hopefully there will be other jobs for you to try out.
