Matrix Reasoning

So...
 Today I went to Vocational Rehab and did a full day of tests. I am pretty sure my brain is fried right now. A lot of tests. I tried to make it as much fun as I could and it was going pretty well until the math portion at which point everything ground to a screeching halt. She (the perky Canadian evaluator gal) thinks I have a learning disability in the math department. No shit.
 I skipped all but about four questions. Which made me want to cry. So she lightened it back up a bit by telling me she might be able to ferret out some gay/lesbian resources here in town. I have no earthly idea what she's talking about. I was so taken aback by that remark, that I just sat back in my chair and wished I had a piece of grass to put in my mouth.
 Well... she says she thinks I'm funny. And she thinks I would have made a great cop. I had to laugh.
And roll my eyes.
 She also tells me I answered questions correctly that no one ever answers correctly. I found that comforting.
However I drew a blank at 'Who was Catherine the Great?" I could not for the life of me remember anything about her.
 I knew what the Koran was, and who wrote Hamlet... but C the G flew my mental coop . Oh snap.
And when she asked me who wrote Hamlet I threw her with "Well some people think it might have been Sir Francis Bacon, but I'll go with Bill Shakespeare."
 ARGH, what a long day. She ran off to lunch at Applebee's with a coworker. I totally think she should have asked me to go along, really. It's the least she could have done for me making her laugh all damn day.
 Anyhow, one day down, plus a visit to the audiologist, which I could have skipped because she did nothing but ask me how my holidays were.
 and gave me a blank stare when I said "Oh just another few days in the year,  days like any other."
 I got home and my roommates are up and about. I was anxious to have my camera back so downloaded their pics on to my computer then burned them to disc for them.
 So glad to have my camera back. Wanted it today, but I will take it tomorrow. I hope they didn't disease it by using non-rechargeable batteries in the damn thing.
 I want to take photos of the voc rehab eval office. Specifically, the book that says "Matrix Reasoning." I laughed so hard when I saw that, and that Canuk didn't get it.
 Told her I wanted to go home and get my long leather jacket. She hasn't seen the Matrix I guess.
Some day she'll see it just because I made that joke and then every day when she comes into her office she'll laugh when she tests someone on that.
 Some of that shit today was so retarded. Like...she plays a cassette tape of some guy while showing me pictures in a book.
 The tape says stuff like this..."Don't point to the cat nearest the book unless there is two dogs and the television is off."  Or, "Point to the object in the sky that is not an airplane unless there is more than three cats in the picture that are facing the wall."
 I actually laughed and said "That's retarded."
Probably not the most pc thing to say in a voc rehab office.
lol.
