Mycorama LEVEL +10 - IN GOOD STANDING
thankfully i live in oregon and self service gas stations are illegal so if all else fails i COULD pump gas for the rest of my life. lol, j/k...

still i thnk my best bet is going and talking to a councler about
what they think would be the best fit for me as an individual.
ive taken classes at this community college and thats also where i got my GED.
im pretty familiar with the councler, ive met her a couple other times...

once i decide what im going to work towards, i figure i can find a job that has something to do with what im learning in school.

you can do it too.
i actually did work this last summer in a printing press for three months, i loaded the paper onto the press then fliped it over after it was donw and sent it through again.
we were printing leaflets that some of you probably got in your mail.
i started out at 12 bucks an hour but man it was one of the most demanding things ive ever done.
i would regularly work 12 hour shifts, which was the main reason i quit. it was just too hard to do that much work and all the other things i had going on at the time.
but printing is a really cool buisness and its pretty interesting when you get into it.
i might think about trying that out again...

Psily o' Cybin, do you know much about offshore oil rigs? i really thought that was a cool thing to do being a kid growing up.
and i wouldnt mind working for weeks at a time, i really do have a good work ethic, i like manual labor, it just feels rewarding knowing im doing something thats going to help me out later.
but yeah, if you know about what it takes to be an oil rigger or what that intails let me know, im atleast intrested in it and wouldnt mind knowing a little more then i do now.

i recently just ran into a bunch of trouble with my now ex-girlfriend.
which really is bringing me down, so it means a lot to me that you guys care enough to let me know what you think.
i love this place...
