Here I am stuck at the public library in Allston. I would rather be at home using my eMac surfing the Internet and writing articles so that I can paste onto this blog and other writer's forums that I am with to get noticed. Just my luck that first my telephone line broke down for more than a month and then my eMac computer goes bonkers on me when I hooked it up to a DSL modem. Now, I face the task of getting it fixed, which is something I can't do on my own.
When I was pursuing a career in broadcasting, I was all alone many times. Finding the right help and advice was difficult because everyone was on my case about experience. The fact is that I couldn't get experience because no one would hire me. Sometimes, I couldn't get feedback from people who interviewed me for jobs in both radio and television. All the while I was an undiagnosed person with Asperger's Syndrome, Nonverbal Learning Disorder, and Sleep Apnea. The sad fact that no one noticed that I had these disorders in me. They always assumed that I was either egotistical or obnoxious. The truth was I had no idea what they thought of me during the interview. How could I know? Theory of Mind doesn't work when you have Asperger's Syndrome.
Now, I am pursuing another profession, and I am alone once again with problems. There's no one I can call at 3:00 am for help. I always have to call for help when it's when they are available and that might take a few weeks or months.
