No, but I'm sure they'd appreciate it if you did It must be awfully dull, lying in a hole while worms chew your face off. A little pleasant conversation would go some way to relieving the monotony.

I'd like to work in a cemetery, but I doubt I'd make it through the interview without saying something "inappropriate".

Doing freelance work is good when you only have to contact clients through e-mail. I do a bit of freelance graphic design at the moment, i dont get much money from it but it would be great if i could do it as a full time job.

Lol! Yeah sometimes I start wondering what would be the most inappropriate thing to say in a given situation, and once I've thought of something the temptation to blurt it out becomes immense... it's like that childish urge to press any big red button you see, especially if it has a "DO NOT TOUCH!" sign on it!

Working with animals is a good option IMO. For the last 2 years I've been working on a farm, with one boss and one co-worker. You get to know the people you work closely with and its really not a problem when you start to feel comfortable around them (doesnt take long.)

Most of my work I to do alone, just dealing with wee calves and their mothers, as well as some bigger cattle and a few bulls. Its suited me down to the ground so far, but I have plans to join the Air Force in 2 years time.

I would say a porter at the hospital. Moving patients from bed to bed and sending documents from one department to another. Very little interaction involved.

I agree. Animals are great to work with when you are shy because you still get a lot of interaction with living things but you don't have to make conversation (perfect!). I've worked in kennels and as a dog walker for years while in college and if I could do it forever and make a good living off it, I totally would.

Ive worked all kinds of jobs - janitorial, construction, outdoor plumbing, security, retail etc.

I didnt really enjoy any of them. I just did it for money, and alot of it affected my health, both physcially and mentally. So I took a break. My goal is to find somethig I enjoy so that I dont feel bummed out everyday. Problem is, I dont know what that is anymore while having SA and depression. My goal now is to work on my health and my spirit, I am hoping to regain some enjoyment and interests back in life. Whatever work I do from now on out it will be something suitable for me. I refuse to work a back breaking job or some job where you got a boss yelling at you.

I have done all kinds of different jobs, and have quit a lot of them. This is mainly because of the people. I have had to work in offices with lots of people, and that just doesn't cut it with me. I am just not a people person and never have been. I always hear "You're just going to have to accept people the way that they are. They aren't going to change". In other words, all of these extroverts will never shut up, and especiallly in workplaces will continue to backstab, lie, etc. Well, there are two sides to that coin. People are just going to have to accept me the way that I am, which is a person who likes to keep to himself, and do his own thing.
Every day, I am trying to find a job with little or no people contact. That is the only thing, based on experience that is going to make it for me. I am sick of working at jobs and being miserable, because it affects every other area of my life. The sadness, constantly being pissed off, etc.
I too would like my own little spot in the corner, or an office where I could work independently.
