I just registered with Manpower Temporary Services at their local office in my area.
They may have IT jobs in the near future.
I've given indication I am available for Manufacturing Jobs; this, to allow me some Immediate Income!
Still, I've tried these kinds of jobs before, and have failed miserably. I think it might be better to hold out for IT.
The question is, can my wallet hold out?

Arby's Is Toast! (And I'm Done With Restaurant Jobs For The Rest Of My Life!)
Well, I ended up getting switched from a day shift to a four-hour night shift for one night this past week, and it ended in disaster.
I was constantly harangued by a twenty-something young woman who kept up a critical commentary for an entire hour. Added to this, was my inability to keep up with the orders, people constantly trying to work at my assigned station, getting in my way, and not letting me do my job.
I ended up leaving in a highly agitated state. It was one of three choices: 1) Brain Hemorrhage, 2) Jail Time for Smacking 'The Snippy Beast' Next To Me, or 3) Leave and Possibly Lose My Job.
Well, #3 won out, and, sure enough, I went back the next day, and found I had no job.
It wasn't unexpected. Also, I'm not too heartbroken, even though the immediate lack of income may be a problem in the short term. Still, it frees me up from stress and now I am able to devote more time to seek more suitable employment in the Information Technology (IT) Field.
I want to do more computer servicing/administrating/configuring types of things.

Now, on another line of events: I have an ongoing, active case with Vocational Rehabilitation. These are the 'disability services' people that exist in every state. My success with these offices has been edgy, although this time around, it may actually work out to a desired outcome, for myself and my case workers.
I have Attention Deficit Disorder, Cognitive Learning Disorders, and a host of symptoms that would make a 'normal' person cringe and probably jump out of their skin. Without living a lifetime inside of my type of brain, most people would probably go crazy their first few days, and have a stroke!
I'm only mildly unserious here, people! :-P I wouldn't want anyone to have to deal with my inability to multi-task at high speed, short-term memory problems, and problems with analytical/mathematical problems beyond a certain point.
It's not that I 'can't do math,' it's that I get to a certain level and plateau; then I find I can't get any farther than where I find myself at the time I'm doing the problem. I haven't found any solutions for this. 'Hard Work' is not the answer. I've worked myself until I'm tired and can't even read--after 12 hours sitting down!
I've learned that the above isn't the answer. To me, 'Hard Work' is simply a combination of results stemming from one's desire to do well at one's job. In other words, when work becomes something that 'I want to do,' rather than something I, or someone else, says 'I have to do,' and the labor becomes, itself, effortless, then that is when 'Hard Work' becomes 'Joyful Work.'
MORAL: I Must Seek Joyful Work. I Must Leave The Rest, At This Late Point In My Life--At 45--Behind!
