^I failed the McDonald's one. In my head I knew it wanted me to tick that I liked surprises but I couldn't bring

myself to do it. If it had said I am able to cope well with surprises in the work place then I would have been fine.

Since nobody likes surprises at work they are really either testing peoples ability to lie in an application, or

eliminating autistics, their lose.

You could try vocational rehabilitation? That is how I got my job as a fry cook for a summer at Mcdonalds. Quite a learning experience. Mcdonalds is very fast pace.

My therapist told me women in their 30's get tired of the bad boys and will be more willing to consider me a potential partner. Well, I am pushing 31 and I am still being overlooked by the opposite sex. :(

I don't usually agree much with councilors but she's right. Men have more chance of getting a serious female

partner who is between 30 and 40 than any other age group.

How old do you think you look Marknis?


My receding hairline makes me look 40. I shave constantly because facial hair would make me look even older than that. I don't even know why I bother, though. I am always going to be in my older brother's shadow.

I've been podded up with my pea plushies, still healing from my surgery. I should be completely healed by the second week of June.

Oh my! That’s quite a long recovery period. I hope you heal quickly and without problems. Will you have to stay indoors or can you go outside to enjoy spring arriving?

My passion right now is to get through my homework and study for my tests as that's what my passion is now.

This is not a thing where I live (rural) and if it was they wouldn't give it to me. I stopped applying for jobs that

had the pretests. I do fine at interviews, and I have lots of experience now, luckily they were not a thing when I

was first looking for work, that would have screwed me. I work in a Boyes shop now on the main till which suits

me because it's busy. One customer after another allows me to avoid my three biggest problems 1) multitasking

2) to much time with coworkers 3) trying to think of work things to do myself (I was always wrong).

Not so far, but there is always time for things to go wrong.
