Vocational Rehabilitation

So I'm walking out and about town today with my girlfriend. Picking up applications for her at various hotels, dreaming about various trucks at various car lots that I will probably never ever be able to afford in my lifetime, looking at all the new releases at blockbuster, going to the bank. Things like that when as we are leaving the Great Southern Bank on Kearney across from the Baptist Bible College I happen to mention to Jennifer as we are passing the Vocational Rehabilitation office that is next to the bank that I have been meaning to stop in there and see if they could help me out. She says well we have the time right now so why don't you just go in there right now and find out.Well that shut me up real quick and we went inside and I talked to them about getting me some help with getting a job and helping pay for my schooling that I am currently doing. It was pretty easy process to do and I'm kicking myself for not starting this process sooner. They took down my information about myself and my condition that qualifies me for their help, set me an appointment to see one of their counselors and that was it. Now I have an appointment to see this counselor a week from Tuesday and it only took about 10 minutes to complete. It's amazing how many things we put off doing because we think that it will be too difficult to do when in reality it may only take 10 minutes and a little information and it's done. I keep wondering how things would be different if I had taken the time to do this several years ago. I could already be done with school or very close to it and be working at a job somewhere making a decent paycheck and possibly even be off Social Security Disability entirely by now but that is not the case. It just makes me think that we should never put off until tomorrow the things that we can get done today because tomorrow may end up being several years worth of time before you finally get around to doing it.
