After being out of work for a year, along with a year of stability. Ive finally decided to put myself out there and have an interview tommorow. I am very excited and hope it goes well. Not working has been tough me. I need to get my life back together, and part-time work is a start. Its a package handler at UPS. I enjoy physical labor and it shouldnt stress me out to much. Also, I know working will make me sleep better.

well .. just wanted to share that.

Wow! I saw a post for that position here. I'm in Toronto, Canada...weird but I thought the same thing as you. Great part time position to start with. Mind you I couldn't do it yet myself. But your post made me smile because I'm down now but not out. Bravo on your accomplishment and GOOD LUCK!
Cheers, Coco

Good luck to you. For me personally, not working makes my mental state worse. I work full time, but when I'm on med leave from work I feel like it makes it worse. I hope you get the job, glad your stable.

UPS is awesome to work for, I did it during the summer when I was 17 loading and unloading the trucks. Lots of sweat but so worth it!
