Please don't take this too seriously.

A crazy coworker of mine just came up to me and out of the blue started telling me how school is what's important for me and I have to stick with it and make sacrifices because in the long run that's what's best. Do crazies have crazydar? (There's no way she could know that I'm skipping, because she's been on a leave of absence for the entire duration of this semester. My other coworkers might be able to piece together some evidence, but she couldn't.)

[Lorizael]

Possibly. But I'm given to understand that she spent her leave of absence at a facility with a rather white decor...

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Game knows game, man. I think crazydar is probably a thing.

Does it come as any surprise that half the guys in OT have struggled with a lot of the same issues?

...

...Mountain Dew was the exact same thing ****ing MY **** up proper, too, in college, for instance. Watch out for self-medicating w/ stimulants and throwing yourself off-balance...

Sid Meier has developed a computer program that subliminally drives people mad a la Snow Crash?

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Aspies are lonely and get blue and love 4x? Guys who grew up being eternally told what turds they are at every turn grow up w/ aspie tendancies, thus are lonely and get blue and love 4x?

I dunno. Just watch out for what too much Mountain Dew does to you in the long run.

[Lorizael]

I'm okay with what too much Mountain Dew does to me in the long run. That's why my last girlfriend and I broke up.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Again, it turned ME into a half-assed sort of manic-depressive for almost as long as you've been alive.

I think.

My therapist thinks.

[Lorizael]

I don't really get manic. If I'm bipolar, the two poles are sad and angry.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Angry'll do it, and who enjoys being angry? Really brings me down.

[Lorizael]

I don't really think I'm bipolar. Online tests don't say I am, I don't fit the DSM criteria, and (this is the only one that matters) no mental health practitioner I've ever dealt with has suggested it.

[The Mad Monk]

I'd suggest starting with (a).

Remember, your words are backed with medical history...

Start with (a) soon, because it will be too late even for (b) sooner than you think.

[Lorizael]

There's actually protocols in place to have the semester retroactively erased, pretty much specifically for medical/mental reasons.

Maybe Jesus was speaking through her.

Lori, half of us here have probably struggled with similar issues.

[Lorizael]

Maybe Jesus was speaking through her.

She might believe that.
