spokeSo, here's the deal: Really crappy day at work. Seriously. I refrain from going on and on because I did enough of that there.
So. This did not prompt me to go in to the college, as I am exhausted and cranky and slightly freaked out. It did get me looking through the catalog on the college website a little more seriously, with an eye to what I might enjoy doing in the long run - or at least, enjoy more than cashiering.
Which is not asking for much, as I expect I'd enjoy herding pigs more than cashiering.
What I'm thinking of is the Digital Media/Multimedia Technology course. With the eventual wild ambition of possibly learning to/becoming somehow involved in the process of - making games. The very idea of which makes me slightly giddy, zomg.
But, with the more immediate practical goal of getting me into a job that might start out around 26,000 - I think I'm at 18,000 roughly? Latest tax return I could find was for 2004. And. Better than cashiering.
The only thing that worries me is the maths involved. But I think there is a placement test for such. *gulp* Really though, for this? I think I could make myself study math until I forced myself onto a level that's good enough.
Now to sleep, as I can feel my concentration dissolving, to be replaced with random silly images such as a tiny game-me doing battle with giant numbers, and making a game where you play a cashier whose goal is to tick off enough customers that they become a mob and attack the store.
