Scared and nervous (email from Sock waiting in my inbox )
14:10 - Moarskrillex42: She said something about knowing why I wanted to move to Glasgow when she came in. She plopped down on my bed and told me to go ahead and open it for her.14:11 - Peter5930: So, she thought I was your lover and that I was sending you a box full of sex toys, and that you wanted to move to Glasgow to be with me?

I don't know what else to do; I ask people for help and they are as puzzled as I am about why nothing works. I just want something like stacking shelves to make a few more dollars; surely it shouldn't be this hard?To make things even better, my parents are moving to New Zealand in 6 monhs and selling the house, and I'm sure that my difficulties finding sufficient work won't go away just because the need for it is more urgent.\I went to all the employment agencies around here; they told me that unless I'm on the dole, which I'm not, they can't help me.So yeah. Overwhelmed.That sucks. I never was good at job interviews myself. For a brief period after I got out of the military I had a great job working on Fast Attack Nuclear submarines but an oversight on my part, regarding an application not my work, fucked that up. I went through a series of shit paying jobs between age 24 and 35 until a temp agency placed me with an outfit making stuff for the semi conductor industry and they hired me permanent. Then I got mad at them and joined the Union, I don't have to do interviews anymore. Have you tried applying through temp agencies? ?That ultimately turned my career around.No, I haven't tried that yet, and thank you, that is exactly the sort of advice I'm looking for and not getting.People are asking for years of experience for entry-level work, which I would have had if I'd been able to manage part-time work and high school. But seriously... it's entry-level work; not rocket science.What's the polite way of saying "No, I don't have an experience in stacking shelves/working a cash register (which I do know how to do, I just haven't done it much)/whatever, but a trained monkey could do it, so I'm sure I will learn."?
