My psychologist almost ruined my life; however, I was smarter than her and didn't listen to her original diagnosis, hence I didn't take her mind destroying drugs, hence I kept my brain intact long enough to be diagnosed as an aspie.

However, I need to find a job and I am so tired of the rejection and then getting the job and being bullied out or shunned out of the said job. I wish I could find something to do that didn't involve people. Thanks for listening.

i had a tantrum at a mcdonald's drive through yesterday.

speaker/microphone: hi sir! what can i get you?

me: i will have one fillet of fish, six nuggets with sweet and sour sauce and a medium fanta with no ice.

speaker/microphone: can i make that a happy meal deal for you sir?

me: no. i will have one fillet of fish, and six nuggets with sweet and sour sauce and a medium fanta with no ice i said.

speaker/microphone: yes sir, but i can make that a happy meal for you

me: so will i get precisely what i ordered in a "happy meal"?

speaker/microphone: no you will get 9....

me: ok i do not want a happy meal!! shall i run through the list again?

speaker/microphone: but a happy meal deal will....

me: right. so i can not order what i want individually. is that correct?!?!

speaker/microphone: well yes you can but...

me: ok i will try again then!! i will have one fillet of fish, and six nuggets with sweet and sour sauce and a medium fanta with no ice.

speaker/microphone: err but with a happy meal deal you can....

me: so no go then?!?! forget it! i will go somewhere else!!

there were cars in front of me, so i mounted the concrete slab to the side of the lane i was in and breached it scraping the bottom of my car, and i sped off in disgust.

it seems i can only order predefined "meal deals" there now, and i can not ask for what i want in an itemized fashion.

what is the world coming to?

^^

Because most McDonalds workers don't have the skills to really know much beyond meal numbers. Nor are they trained (for cost saving purposes) to really do much besides punch in a button for whatever on their keypad.

And why do they put their slowest employee on drive through duty? I think anyone would have driven off in disgust b9 ,and if her manager had overheard her she would have been in trouble. It's OK to ask once but after that she's just being dense.

i don't hate psychiatrists, they usually don't give IQ tests. they are more like regular doctors usually. sometimes they are annoying but i have more respect for them than psychologists. at least they don't diagnose you based on some stupid IQ score.

For the last several days I've been noticing this nasty smell in the hallway of my apartment building and into my apartment but I couldn't locate the source. It's stronger in the hallway. Suddenly today it hit me what it was...dirty diapers. The young couple downstairs have an infant son and I haven't seen them in a while. I think they took a trip and didn't empty the diaper pail. :eew:
Once my boss put a bid in on cleaning a church and mentioned to me this wierd bad smell in the nursery. I said Yeah that's a combination of plastic and poop. Being a father, his eyes got wide and he said That's It!!

My psychologist seemed to be by and large indifferent to my problems, lol. Haven't seen em in years, I always assumed he chalked up my problems to age and Asperger's, two things he couldn't really do anything about.

"Are you socializing?"
"Do you have any questions about Asperger's?"

Those questions and his responses following my input(which he surely laid out for all his patients) are all I ever got out of him.

He almost seemed uncomfortable when I brought up things/seemed to be preparing to bring up things he didn't prepare for. I will always remember him as someone who seemed to be sweating constantly.

I was prescribed various antidepressents/anti-adhd meds over the years(by the associated psychiatrist), but I think I would've been better off not ever taking them. All of them made me miserable in one way or another.


Not to knock on all psychs, I'm sure there are good ones out there. I just haven't met them.

I watched an anime today, for the first time in a long time. It was The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. It gave me mixed feelings inside: on one hand, I really enjoyed it. On the other hand... I felt like I was "cheating on" or "betraying" on my current special interests. I'm scared that if I keep watching Haruhi, it will become my new obsession and I'll have to redecorate my whole room to reflect that. I'd also lose all of the friends I've made since becoming a Tim Burton/Johnny Depp fan. I felt so proud of myself for breaking out of my anime addiction, and I don't want to go back to it even though there is a small part of me that wishes I could (for nostalgia's sake more than anything else).

But I need to put things into perspective - as an anime fan, I had no friends and no one in my family would share my interests with me since they "didn't watch cartoons". But as a Tim Burton/Johnny Depp fan, I've made lots of friends and my parents actually enjoy sitting down and watching their movies with me. There's also the added bonus of being able to talk about it openly with family members and strangers, since Tim and Johnny's movies aren't nearly as niche as anime.

I feel better now... Just needed to vent a little. :)

I can think of much to groan about today other than the school holidays. I could barely get a seat in the food court today because of all the kids and families :x

And the girl who sits near me at work kept asking me if I had much work on, as if to insinuate I was slacking off....I was but that's not the point.

My mother makes me take these sugar-pills- I mean anti-depressants. They do nothing.

I don't really like today it comes with too much un-wanted attention. I can't say this to my wonderful family...I've hurt their feelings in the past...so here I am. :|

I couldn't find my shower cap this morning, which meant I had to wash my hair, which meant I was behind schedule getting to work this morning.

At least my hair is clean now :?

The DVI port on my new (1 month old) monitor is broken, and I have to use VGA. This means that I can only use one monitor until I buy another dvi/vga crossover because my video card only has DVI and HDMI.

So I bought this nice cap sleeve blouse to wear underneath my long sleeve knitted things I wear to work (the 3/4 sleeve blouses I normally wear get bunched up and look weird). I go to put it on for the first time this morning and a button falls off...A BUTTON FALLS OFF!! :x
