Well, shit a kudzu brick...

So, how the hell does a person get a job when they a) hate people, b) only likes animals, c) can't work in a kennel just yet, but has no receptionist experience, and d) would be a terrible waitress/sales clerk/fast food work? I mean, I have like no experience really. And I'm not a morning person; as in I don't function properly until about noon,

Kitchenhand? What's that? I mean, I like people, but I don't necessarily like to talk for more than say 10 minutes. Then I start to imagine stabbing people in the eyes. It's a problem. I'm very open, but not.

Ohh, maid might be good. There's a couple hotels close by (as in 3 within a half mile). I can't do factory work. My dad's been working in a plant for 20 years and I know I can't physically keep up with that right now. The thing with office admin and such is that people seem to require lots of experience. Stables would be good when I get my stamina back, or a kennel. Dog-walker, it seems like our area's flooded with college kids doing that. Sadly. Because I'm really good with dog aggressive or powerful dogs. I may be short and fat, but damn it, I've got legs that are steel. Pet groomer would be fun but after working in a vet's office, I don't know if I could handle the required knowledge for all the breed cuts. It looked quite complicated.

I totally welcome random comments. I love them. They're good for making me think outside the box. And thank you for the suggestions. You reminded me of the odd jobs I'd forgotten about.

Kitchen hand is someone in a restaurant who works in the kitchen and isn't a chef. I think in fancier places they tend to do a lot of prep (cut up stuff) and make the easier stuff - desserts, starters maybe. Depends on the place - my restaurant's entire kitchen staff (apart from the boss) would fall under 'kitchenhands' because they're mostly teenage boys - no chefs at all. So they make everything.

Really? I'd say it's about half and half over here. (Well, maybe 3/4 and 1/4.) They sometimes want experienced people, but a lot of the time, if it's just filing, photocopying, mail sorting etc. they don't give a stuff, and often you can work up to the other bits.

Postie mail delivery? Parcel delivery? Courier?

...Bank teller? You'd have to deal with people, but you'd get rid of 'em quickly.

Oh! I know what that is. I just hadn't heard that term for it. They do the less complicated tasks, yeah? I always think of them as the support staff with chef being the head of the kitchen.

I just looked at those type and even they want experience. Of course, the predicament being you have experience without getting it. There aren't many mail clerk jobs close to where I am now, and I can't get anywhere in Atlanta early morning. I'd be following the main traffic back ups. I'd have to get up at 5am to get somewhere by 8, at least. We have a shitty public transportation system, so most people have to commute. Which means we have about 3 hours of just traffic, to and from.

Hmm, mailman could work, but I can't work two days a week. Fall semester I'll be going to school 2pm - 10pm, with a three hour break between. It's a bit of a pain, really. I had to get the classes I needed, though.

But I'd want to marry the rich young men. ;) Might stop my independent streak I'm working on. *grins* Naw, I just don't if I could handle the pressure of that job.
