I use Aristotle's Rhetorical Triangle almost every day here at the homeless vets' dorm.
For instance, if it is true that I am required to have a fulltime job within 90 days of entering this place and it is also true that all my counsellors here are high school G.E.D. grads (with only a VA training certificate and an inability to remain employed anywhere else), then logic dictates that these people must do everything in their power to prevent me from obtaining gainful employment in 90 days.
It's just logical.
And these folks are good, I mean really, really, really, GOOOOOOOOOOD at being bad at their jobs. It's a beautiful thing to see, really. Artistic, kinda. Yeah, artistic: the artistic misapplication of every known method of producing results.
Results would be bad, you see, because then these "Certificate Sociologists" would be out of work. Not "work" actually. They would be out of a paycheck. They would be off the nonprofit corporate dole.
This dorm exists to keep the counsellors, who were born in this country and yet barely able to speak English, on the dole. Keep them on the dole. That and house us hardcores. I got a job, working at Sluggo Security. I hate it. I think I'll quit it and make my career counsellor happy. It's crazy, but logical.
