How are you feeling right now?

[P7PSP]

Congested, but coughing less. Maybe I'll get my voice back by the weekend! 

That would be good, try tea and lemons.

I'll have some at work tomorrow. I never realized how much I       till I lost my voice!

Don't worry, we recognize your gift.

As indeed you should! I do some of my finest work right here!

Tired and unfocussed.

Scared and nervous (email from Sock waiting in my inbox )

Reasonably OK. Hungry, though.

It turned out to be nothing, just some email saying he's having MSN technical troubles

Itchy

I didn't sleep well last night, and now I'm  .

[renaeden]

I am feeling ok. I practically always feel ok so I don't post much in this thread. I have difficulties identifying different feelings, I think.

[odeon]

I have a headache.

[PuppetSockPenguin]

Drained.

[ShyOne]

Ill 

What's the matter? 

Sorry for the late response. Not been too well of late, possibly pneumonia so I'm getting to a hospital soon if it doesn't clear up.

[odeon]

Headache is getting worse.

Thanks, and cool picture.

So much of this stress would be resolved by being able to move out of home and away from my abusive fuckwit of a father, but I don't earn enough to both eat and pay rent; I've tried over and over to find more work; I keep getting rejecting for everything, including cleaning jobs, which I thought used to be what you did when you couldn't find any other work. 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."?

I would tell them about your experience with tutoring music and whatever unpaid experience you have working as well.  If you have ever worked a cash register, tell them about that as well.
