[QUOTE="Lil, post: 684914, member: 17309"] God only knows. He's worked two factories - books and cookies - quit both because "his back hurt". Now, in his defense, he does have minor back issues, but he refuses to do anything about it, won't even attempt to improve his posture, etc., so there's that. He's worked fast food, which is what he just quit. He worked a janitorial job, basically vacuuming and emptying trash cans in a office building. Quit. The ice cream shop near where his new place is was hiring full-time! His response was, "I've seen how busy that place is, it's packed on a slow day." Sooo..you can't make a banana split quick enough? That's an issue here? Puleeze! I told him today that a hotel is hiring overnight front desk help...I'd say you don't get a more quiet job than that. :( So...I made his counseling appointment. Had a nice vent with the EAP lady before she matched him with a woman - he wants a woman, go figure. She's a LPC, not a psychiatrist or psychologist, but that's what you get thru EAP. She does seem pretty nice on the phone, I gave her a bit of background, but really, I didn't want to say tooooo much, because he's the patient, not me, and she may well tell him what I said. I told her there was anger issues, problems dealing with life in general and a failure to launch. May have told her about the pot, at this point I don't remember. Told her about the housing issue, girlfriend leaving, lack of job and motivation. I told her, "He says he just really needs someone to talk to so he vents before he blows up. Generally, he just has a lot of issues. He could really use some life skills in general." This particular office does list "life coaching" among their services. Fingers crossed. [/QUOTE]
