I don't have a job and I'm not in school. I'm doing volunteer work and taking a class, but I feel like that isn't enough, doesn't take up enough of my time, so then I get bored and lonely.
And I want to make money. I do. really really really want to. I don't know why I'm taking so long to find a job.
The last job I had sucked, and I'm sort of nervous the next one will be too, but I could always quit if it was.
When I was looking for a job in the past, someone from the dept. of labor was helping me. I sort of had a crush on him and felt sort of uncomfortable around him cuz of this.
I think I'm ready to start looking for a job again. I think I'm going to make a call to him (dept of labor guy) again sometime this week to tell him I'm ready for a job.
But sometimes I think "should I call him? I don't want to feel uncomfortable." I'm so weird. I think I "think too much."
The thing is, when I was looking for a job, I thought about him all the time.
I don't want to do that.
I think I'm going to wait til Wednesday when I have my T appt. and talk to her about it.
Also, I feel like I can't have friends right now because I don't know what to tell my peers about not having a job. Like what do I say? OK, well thanks for reading. If you have any advice on any of this, please respond. I haven't written anything personal like this in a long time so sort of nervous posting. thank you.

I didn't know the dept of labor helped people find jobs (this is in the US right?)
But anyway, if you feel uncomfortable about him try to find a job on your own (classifieds, private job agency, etc).
Or option two, you could just not worry about the crush and work with the dept agency guy. When I find someone I really like, I usually develop crushes very quickly. But I've been let down so many times I trained myself to not take these crushes so seriously. I hate holding back feelings, but sometimes it makes life easier.

Thanks for your response Michael. I am going to forget about getting help from him because I don't think it's working out or healthy for me to feel the way I do.
I'd like to try something else though. I feel so lost in regards to finding a job. Thanks.
