been like this for a while now:

bus schedules (municipal, greyhound etc.) also the buses themselves, fleet numbering schemes, paintjobs, how greyhound is incorporating Vermont Transit's 401XX series into its new paint job scheme, the MCI 102DL3/D4500's just saw an ancient MC-12 broken down at the Bangor, ME greyhound depot.

G'hounds new Prevost X345's are sharp looking but the ride cant compare to a 1998 102DL3

At the moment, my special interest is Aspereger´s Syndrome and the Workplace, especially how to deal with social hierarchies. I guess the reason for this interest is that I´m having a few "unexplained" problems with my work lately....

Can anyone recommend any good books about AS and work? I prefer well written, detailed books, not short books where they just state the obvious.

oooohhhhh boy, dont get me started on the unwritten social hierarchies, i could go on a rant that would last for weeks, but i know that the unwritten rules forbid asking what the rules are so i'd best shut up before someone in a higher class finds out i even said this.

3 - Orthodox Christianity.

1. Psychoanalysis.
2. Autism/Disability Awareness/Self-Advocacy (autism is an old interest, but lately it's mostly focused on advocacy/awareness as opposed to just studying autism)
3. The oil leak in the Gulf.

Yeah, switching from money will do that

As for me, mid-'90s Phish ('93-'95). That's nothing new, though.

Calculus, Aerospace Engineering, and Swedish

SVENSKA! Den är jag mycket intresserad av också! Jag bestämde mig att lära mig språket för att kunna förstå någon som jag kände och förföljde på Internet för att hon brukade prata om mig på svenska med andra svenskar.

Varför är du intresserad av svenska? Lär du dig språket nu? Hur mycket kan du förstå?

Ignore the long Swedish sentence explaining my odd inspiration for learning the language if you don't understand that much Swedish yet, but in English my questions for you are:

Why are you interested in Swedish?

Are you learning the language now, and if so, how much can you understand?
