It's been a year of no steady employment now... is employment just a privilege for those who are good at networking? (hexbear.net)

It's been a year since I was let go from my last full time, permanent job. I've never been able to find work since then. I know that if they were to just put me on the desk, I'd do the job well and excel at it. But nobody will do that. Because I can't network. I'm sorry, but I can't fake sincerity. I can't pretend I'm not just talking to someone because I want a job. But this arbitrary thing that has nothing to do with the job is apparently the end-all-be-all of finding work.

I hear ya and feel the same way. Really cool I'm cursed with a brain that needs to map out conversations because I wasn't given the part that "naturally" learns to socialize. Works great at Friday Night Magic, not so much when trying to pretend I care about football.

If "god" is real I want to meet him so I can punch him in the face.

If someone is really chatty and talks to you the whole time during a match at FNM does it bother you? It's me I'm the chatty guy but someone's I'm not sure if I'm bothering the quieter people
