Tuck you away in my pocket... that is such a good advice! I will.

Yes, it is computers, but very narrow within computers.

Yes, I am am a workhorse, but with limitations: I have to go to bed at 10PM lest I have a very bad day if not two afterwards; plus, I am by now, after several months of doing so at my doctor's advice, so conditioned that I start being so sleepy even at 10:15 that I absolutely must retire to bed right away. So all-nighters are out of the question, unlike in my untreated, hypomanic, younger days.

It is a consolation that even the normals have to fake it. It is actually quite a big one, thanks.

BuggsBunny, to your questions:

Will you do the job to the best of your ability? A: Absolutely. I have deep concerns that this will not be enough (a separate topic), but on my end I will do my very best.
Will you be there, clean and well behaved, each day? A: Yes. I am on my way to being clean each morning even while staying alone in the apartment and reading about SSD.
Will you spend your day focusing on the job and not goofing off? A: The focusing ability according to my doctor is compromised, so this is a partial Yes. No, I will not be goofing off.

Overall, I answered Yes to most of the questions. So, you are saying, I should feel proud. This is a U-turn from my yesterday's negativeness and gloominess. I really appreciate this new perspective. Now, to the preparation!
