Would like some job tips from you guys:

I want a job with a well-defined goal or endpoint.
A job where I sell my work, not my personality.
Somewhere where the boss will recognize my social limitations and be OK with them.

Any ideas?

Hours 11am - 7pm would be ideal

I'm thinking something in the IT industry or involves using computers

IT Support does involve interacting with people and you have to be personable.

IT does provide those hours (I used to work 10:30-7.)

Kool I like those hours, which business was that? Was it all remote support?

Well the jobs where you have job skills that are valued over social/people skills are jobs such as doctors and engineers, as well as artists. Computers would be jobs that value job skills over people skills with the exception of management jobs, and yes for IT support someone would need to be civil to others, but not a social butterfly per se.
