All the best!

Plus, can I be the first idiot to own up to not really understanding why you won't be able to have your own private internet access?

I'll be in a program that is government run/funded. They allow anyone from age 17-24 to enter. Given that, I'm not allowed to bring my desktop or laptop, or my smart phone and the internet will be filtered. Can't have wee/minor kiddo's accessing porn at a government facility or something, I guess :tongue:

Fuck you very much, US Gov. 4 days before I'm supposed to go start Job Corp I get a call saying I can't go until at least mid-July. It isn't like I had another phone call two days ago, confirming that all my plans were made for going there.

Apparently there was some sort of call/directive from on high at Washington D.C. saying all new entrants/applicants are getting pushed back. The new year for their budget starts in July. Supposedly I'm going to be near the top of the list, but given how wonderfully everything else has gone in the last couple of years, I'll magically get told I can't go at all. Or y'know, my dad will die. Or some other wonderful thing like that will happen.

Oh, sweetie! That is just terrible! But please stay positive, ok? At least we have you awhile longer. There aren't many people as strong as you - and you can certainly hang on for another few weeks. Snuggle in and let me pet you :hug:!

Sorry that your plans have been postponed but i must admit... I'm glad you're sticking around a little longer. Just when I was starting to get to know you, you were leaving!! Boooo @ that!!

*snuggles up and purrs*

Frustrating bullshit. Ah well. I better get to go with some swiftness when mid-July comes, though!

Alright, so things keep getting changed around. I'm now set to start on July 24th. The tech program I wanted to get into is full as is the wait list. I could sit around and wait to get in, but it might take until January or later... and I'm fucking tired of bumming around at my Dad's. So I'm opting to do their culinary program. If there is magically an opening in the tech program after I do the 30-60 day long orientation, I can swap trades. Otherwise, once I start the culinary trade, I'm stuck doing it.

Fortunately I already have an affinity with the culinary arts. Should be fairly fun. I hope.

Anyway, the reason I'm not deciding to go to another school or something, is because this one won't cost me any money. None. I get to live there, get taught, etc for 2 years and it's free. So, as far as I know I won't be on LPSG much after the end o July for roughly two years. Unless they decide to change things around on me yet again, and they push back my start date. Jerks.

Not quite two weeks and I'll be going to the Job Corp campus (and unable to log on here with any regularity). I'm really nervous... :frown1:
