nfotxnWelp, I start my first shift tomorrow. Should be interesting to see how I deal with it. I've been living in my computer toad hole so long that sometimes I wonder if I can still deal with people without feeling like a socially inept alien.
One thing I understand about myself is how mutable my personality is. That is to say I can be ultra outgoing, bags of confidence.. totally extroverted/type-A/in your face elastic firecracker. Almost to the point of being so good at it that I can entertain yet be totally detached at the same time. But the isolation of recent years has worn me down and left me on the outside. It's when those feelings set in that I know my black dog has come again. I feel the world has gone mad most times and sometimes I think it's me who's mad.
Anyhow, I bought a copy of Foucault's "Madness and Civilization" and intend to dive in before bed. I'm hoping it will help me to understand how I fit into the world as a queer and perhaps slightly bipolar human being.

And they just want their fries and for you not to screw up their order.
