Between all the other stressors, I decided to try to go back to school for a degree... gonk I am not sure what direction to go since I don't have interests or ambitions. I like sleeping mostly. rofl Though I am being pushed towards accounting, as well as considering office tech and medical office assistant. Though MOA requires things that would be hard for me to get to meet the prereqs.

I figure though if I can do this and get a job, maybe I can get independence and un**** my life.

I need a drink stronger than I can handle. I want to pass out and not be freaking out about everything for a few hours.

I don't know if you're pushed into working because you want to, or family pressures have been forcing you in that direction...but have you considered volunteering in fields you enjoy?

More like he needs to escape his family. Good on you Exxos! Do what you need to do to get away from them 3nodding

Volunteering is a great way to get away from the stress of work, family and anything else...maybe he can do both?

Two of my problems are that I have not found a field that I enjoy and my social network here in the valley consists of diddly and squat in equal measure. I would really like to volunteer some places if I could find them, but they are in fields I have no interest in or they want me to be practically graduated already. Though in the art fields, it's easier to find volunteer slots, but hard as hell to get into them since everybody and their cousin decided graphic artist was a good career direction, they flooded the market, and now it is like an artistic triage – even the volunteers are selected over each other based on how accomplished they are. Baking is amazingly hard to find even a volunteer position.

My interest in office tech is that I am good with filing and sorting, I can type reasonably fast (I average 47wpm and most courses pass you at 30wpm), and I can do intense data entry. Bookkeeping and records would be a better match, especially if it was a non-interaction job – just stick me in a basement and let me fly through the data.

But anyway, my direction is entirely based on what seems to be the crossroads between what I am capable of and what might give me employment.

*Downs car bombs* I knew a girl called that. She was irish, explosive, and you did not want her in a car (I think she got her license through a combination of sexual favors and death threats because she could not drive her way out of a paper bag).

rofl She must be a catch with that "explosive" personality of hers. *ducks under a table out of range of tomatoes or any other fruit projectile*

Excuse me, but did you say ugly and worthless? Sorry hun...but in my eyes you're a cutie...and I have very high standards on cute. Plus you're far from worthless...I seem to remember a certain sister (or was it cousin?) who deemed you fit enough to be an uncle! xd

There is a big need for people to volunteer who have a good basic knowledge of Windows and keyboarding...you could teach that I'm sure.

Sis didn't. My best friend/her husband did. Sis would not deem me worthy of much these days, since the wedding especially... I try not to dwell on it.

Thank you for the compliment though. It's the highlight of my day genuinely.

But even if I was not being self-deprecating as usual, the car bomb's tastes were for the more lean, European male model type – guy's that can look normal dressed head to toe in paper-thin italian leather while looking essentially like a chiseled Kate Moss with a p***s. It never occurred to her that those guys are almost always narcissistic to an insane degree to keep themselves looking like that.

I think if I taught the way I was taught, I'd be arrested today. My typing and computer training was hours daily in grade school. If you made a typing error, you were hit across the hands, if you typed to slowly, hit across the hands, complained about your hands bleeding and hurting... ACROSS THE HANDS!

I've found the best way to learn a system, typing, or anything else with computers is to challenge yourself on your own time and use it. My typing speed is much improved not because of training, but because between writing and instant messaging, I probably type about 600 pages worth every day. Some things just work better naturally.

Maybe you should try (if it matters) for Irish and Scottish women...they're all about big guys...I JUST have have enough pillow hugging meat on me to qualify for my g/f. rofl

Well those you mentor may not have a hugely increased sense of computers, because like you said...it improves over time at your own pace...however some people need that little extra push at the mechanics of it...the increased skill will only come from the person being given the basics...and you could probably give them that.

Someone I knew ages ago, a clairvoyant with scary accuracy, told me that I was destined to end up with someone called "Shay." The girl i want is named Shay, but it's not going to happen. My ex was named Shea. Even a guy could be called something that sounds like Shay and it does not even have to be their real name, just "called." So I wonder.

Well...although I don't know your sexual orientation...I'm sure the Shay is going to be to your sexual preference. When did you see this Clairvoyant? Before or after your ex?

Bisexual and flexible, some might say bisexible... yeah, that's stupid as hell... pardon me...

*Takes joke out behind the barn...* BLAM!

Sorry, had to put that one down. Now where was I?

Yes, clairvoyants! She was in a number of classes with me in my college years up in Washington state. So this would have been Fall 1998 to Spring 2001. My ex came in the years afterward well into my living here in Nevada.

Aww, poor you! Sometimes when you feel so poorly toast and 7-up can taste soooo good. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Thank you. ^^

I'm not sure where it came from, It was instant. Suddenly I was sick, I think I was bitten by a spider to be honesy. Everyone else seems to think I caught the stomach flu thats going around.

How are you this fine evening?
