Wellllll... Let's just say the number of employers who would hire a guy who cannot predict beyond 24 hours (on a good day) whether at any given time he will be awake or in a slumber that a sleep specialist has cheerfully described as "comatous" is rather low.
I've got a few classes in mind for whenever my doctors figure out a medication that my body doesn't develop a resistance to within a few weeks* and doesn't make me continually miserable**; we have a great
École Professionelle here in town and that's probably my best bet for the future. In the meantime I've found a couple online courses in translation that I'd like to take, but since I have only one session of Cégep under my belt I'd need professional experience to get in, and legitimate experience in that domain is hard to get without the appropriate formation.
On the plus side, it's been theorized that a major change in my general life environment could positively affect my condition, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :yayoptimism:
*: Turns out my clever bastard of a sleep cycle adjusts itself and eventually works around the effect of external hormones/chemicals. The image that comes to mind is that of a regenerating troll who happens to have, say, a foot instead of a head, and when you cut it off, another foot grows back.
**: The results of their experiments with various antidepressants have been
less than optimal. Perpetual and occasionally violent sleep drunkenness is not fun times, let me tell you. There's a great line in Portal 2:[spoiler] "We're throwing science at the wall here to see what sticks.",[/spoiler], and that's pretty much how it feels.
