Never knew you were such a fan of anal, Plei. Cool.
It's a real burden being right so often.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Has anyone here been through any type of career counseling?
I've noticed that I havent had a stomach ache, acid reflux, or that feeling that I'm about to throw up at any second, since I've been home.
My conclusion is that white hot job rage is causing me severe stress. I'm 34, I can't start some sort of internship position...and I have no idea what to do, what I'd be happy doing. Or at least, less miserable doing.
I seriously think I need to actually sit down with someone and make a list of shit I can do, shit that I believe I would be doing in one of the circles of hell, and what my skills are worth.
I often think I have no skills, which isn't actually the case.
Where can I go to get some sort of career counseling that doesn't involve a fucking typing test?
I mean, if I wrote a book, I don't need to take a typing test, right?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Allyson, all I can say is be wary. A friend of our paid something like $5K to a place that promised him career counseling and placement. He never did find a new job. He totally got taken in--and he's a pretty smart guy.

Watching Twin Peaks is making me want donuts. I really shouldn't walk over to DD tonight...
I just started watching my super-duper deluxe boxed set last night. My first question after it was over was about where to get donuts. Sadly, my housemate's only info on the subject involved Krispy Kreme.

That's just the thing. They all sort of look like snakeoil salesmen, or cheap recruiters.
I'm stuck.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Allyson, have you tried What Color is Your Parachute?

I think ita left a copy of that at my place that I keep forgetting to return.
I remember flipping through it and feeling confused and angry...like in a math test sort of way. Definitely need to actually read it, though.
All my experience is as an admin to Extremely Difficult People. I just don't want to do that anymore. It's hurting me. I mean, it's definitely a weird skill set to have. I've been my boss' secretary for seven years, and prior to me, he'd chew up a secretary in less than a year.
Which is weird since I have no patience, tact, and often lose my shit.
I always read about execs looking for a "polished professional" which to me reads, "looks good in expensive suit and doesn't bite fingernails."
I AM SO SCREWED. But I'm FUNNY.

Allyson you have tremendous organizational skills.
I think the WGA should hire you to straighten their shit out.
