You're doing it wrong... try interning other places, find a job you like and get hired.

I'm not really sure how I feel about my job, yet. I seem to have accidentally conned my way into a job I'm not qualified for. I'm doing fashion merchandising for Target, which is just a really fancy way of saying I arrange clothes on the sales floor.

You mean "gay aspie" doesn't qualify you for this job? If it doesn't pass muster, I'm not really sure what would be considered "qualified." Of course, if you are actually klepto, it could be a short-term gig.

Hmmm....I never really put that into the equation. I'm one of only 3 guys in the softlines(clothing) department and they're waaaayyyy gayer than me. I'm talkin lisps and limp wrists and rainbow necklaces. I don't really do that stuff and I really couldn't care less about gossip. If they were going for the gay angle I think one of them would've been a better choice.

On the klepto note, yes I am one, but I don't shit where I eat. I've learned how to maintain at work. Other stores however are fair game.

I think that's a cool job. I love doing displays. Then again, I used to do them all the time. I have learned to find the things in the job I do like, and try to make the best of those instead of dwelling on the things I don't like. It's a struggle in this job, but it is possible.

I came from working at the Ritz Carlton in Hawaii, which is a hard job to leave. One of my biggest problems is that I compare this job to that one, which only sets me up for disappointment. If I could afford to stay in Hawaii, I'd still be there. Nothing like working ocean-front all day!

This picture is a bit dark, but this was the view from the pool, aka my office:

I always assumed chains had planograms for that

Read this book and it might not be nearly as boring. It could actually be fun for a year or two if you have a creative/curious side and much free reign

Yeah I know. I just have shit expiernce so nobody will hire me. Besides, the internship I'm at now nothing to do with my actual career. I'm forced to do it because of my parents and I need the cash. Desperate times cause desperate situations. I'm trying to make the best of it.

If you've done it before, you must have experience in something. What do you want to do eventually?

Im doing banking and secretarial stuff right now and I want to be a psychologist eventually. They are rather unrelated fields. I do it becuase of the cash and parents forcing me. Thoguh doing it gave me some experience, it is never enough or not the right type for people to call me back or give me an interview. I honestly dont know. I suppose I cant be picky where people have to work a bunch of jobs or have none at all but I would rather have a job where I can have some semblance of happyness.
