Obsoledge.
Used in a sentence: "After fearing that I was adrift and unable to see my future or develop a personal five year plan, I now know that real possibilities await me as an obsoledge wrangler in the world ahead."
[First, how is it that I am only learning what a portmanteau word is today, after doing it so frequently since posting so regularly ("adjectify", anyone?).]
According to famous futurist (and there's another job to which I can aspire) Alvin Toffler (whose Future Shock turned 40 last year), all knowledge is on its way to obsolescence -- and the rate is accelerated in the post-modern world. I'm already an ace at useless trivia, and my capricious cognition collection is just an attempt to capture obsoledge at its base. Thank you, Alvin -- for I now have new long term goals!
