I obviously can't work with anyone without losing my temper, not yet anyway. Maybe someday I could work somewhere. Even at the job I didn't get canned from, I had an arguement w/ a coworker over putting hangers away. I prolly woulda gotten canned if mgmt knew (especially after I said he's responsible for being a pain in my ass.) Anyway, what are some work from home jobs that either requires something higher than a high school diploma or only requires a GED?

Hey there girl. I hate to tell you this, but I was interested in doing the same thing a few years back and even think I started a thread about it, but after doing endless research and talking with people here about it, I found that there really wasn't much out there. Not enough to make a living anyway.
Eventually there will be more on line jobs available, as it's much cheaper for employers to have people work from their homes. It saves them a ton of $ on supplying office space, heat, electric, etc..., but that time is coming slowly.
Some companies already do this, but you usually have to work in the company for a while before they go that route.

I wish you the best of luck in your next job, whatever it may be and hope you can work through the anger issues.

It may help if you found a job outside of customer service where you wouldn't have to cope with the stress of dealing with customers. I don't like working with customers, which is why I do production work.

@Montana,
It's not really the customers. It's coworkers I can't stand. I know most of the time I'm the problem and not them, but that ddin't change the fact that when I'm pissed either at them or other stuff, they were there only to serve as my verbal "punching bag." Don't get me wrong, I actually had friends among coworkers. Even the one I verbally assaulted I used to get along with. But once I'm triggered (mostly irrationally), **** happens. Therefore, production, well... Hell, maybe I'm crazy.
lol I actually love working with customers. Even the rude ones can't piss me off bc I knew I'll either never see them again or only see them sporadically. Weird ones are funny. Some normal ones were acrtually satisfied with me helping them find merchandise they desperately need. Even on Black Friday I like getting "bothered" every 5 seconds. The only one who I didn't like (understatement) is the one who reported me to mgmt for physically assaulting the poles.
Currently, I could only take jobs w/ reduced hours so there's less chance for me to flip. That's prolly part of the reason I lasted a year at my last job lol.
