Tales of an Aspergian Bus Driver

Weekend: Yet another graduate

No, it's not me. I'm not crazy enough to escape from academia yet. I like it there.

My brother's graduation party was this weekend. On that topic, we get along a lot better now that we're not living in the same house & fighting for phone lines & such. I got to see a whole bunch of people I haven't seen in a while, including a few of my old teachers from High School. On the plus side the English program has been changed around to allow a LOT more (read, more than zero) student-selected reading. So people can read stuff they enjoy. Apparently it has really improved book checkout, both at the school library, and at the public library. I pretty much stopped reading after having books crammed down my throat during high school.

I had a wonderful drive back up to Milwaukee, It was about 75F outside, and I had good music on (For the Better), and there was very little traffic. I realized that I really do enjoy the night, and would probably be very happy as a darkness dweller. Unfortunately, the rest of the world doesn't function on that schedule. Maybe once I graduate? Wake up to drive a bus during the evening, and function at night.

Also, I'm coming up to graduation in a field I don't really enjoy any longer. Yet, I'm supposed to get a wonderful job somewhere in the computer field. A field with basically no job security, and cutthroat competition for what few jobs there are. *sigh* Sadly, I have no other ideas other than "keep driving a bus."
