PD.com forums: a disorganized echo-chamber full of concordian, Greyfaced radical left-wing nutjobs who honestly believe they can take down imaginary Nazis by distributing flyers. They are highly-suspicious of all newcomers and hostile to almost everyone, including themselves. The only thing they don't take seriously is Discordianism.

Yesterday I went to the local Tech School and got myself signed up to meet with an admissions councilor later today. Then I went on down to the Department of Workforce Development and got registered. It so happened that a class was scheduled in use of a program that that tests personality type, aptitude, and functions as an occupational interest assessment. The aptitude tests were particularly grueling timed tests and I was a bit humbled by my math results. Also I felt disoriented for hours after until I got a bit of a nap in late that afternoon. Muhbrains are out of shape in addition to the rest of my body, but I look forward to the challenge of getting better on that.

I made what I think will be a very important connect with the test administrator and class teacher. It was just he and I at first and I got to talk with him about my past and reasons for being there seeking help some. He is a licensed councilor in addition to the other things he does for the department and I think my earnest expression of my difficulties and situation struck a chord with him. I expect to be seeing him again as he offered to help me navigate my way through things and gave me his card.

I probably won't open a thread just for this. I'm at a point where discussing my personal life on this board seems a bit unwise. I will definitely post my major moments of progress here in the open bar from time to time. Right now I need to be making some calls to try and track down a copy of my HS diploma.

I like how we're disorganized but also Grayfaced, and concordian but also radical.

What do words mean, anyway?

Oh wait... I think what he's trying to say is that even though we rarely agree on anything, we did agree that he's just not fucking funny.

To my shame I must admit that I had avoided it for no rational reason other than the word "academic" as not relevant to my interests.

This has changed. I had an admission councilor meeting today and I'm inclined to one of a few different things as we when through their course lists. I'm thinking an apprenticeship program, 2 year pre-university courses, or maybe learning accounting as a start to understanding business. I have a bunch of thinking to be doing and will not be letting myself keep my old aversions. I shall read that thread from the start a piece at a time.

It's hard to tell by seeing my words here, but I'm excited.

I didn't get my GED until I was 40, so I wholeheartedly support this line of reasoning.
