    Your boss doesn't care about your absence?

    is that good or bad?

    I could say I should have tried harder in high school. And I should've cause I barely cracked 3.0.

    But I'm not sure how it would have improved my education, since I still got to go to Edinburgh and will be able to walk into whatever PhD program I want whenever I get around to it.

    Embrace entropy. Give your regrets over to Lord Darkseid and let his warmth free you.

    /nod

    I hated high school and feel as though the main thing I took from it was a curiousity in learning about stuff like global politics and history, which was started there but woefully under appreciated in most of my classes, like the religion class that only taught Christianity with a boner for Catholicism, and some Judaism and Islam, very basic. It still had enough barebones detail though to make me interested in learning about all those things as well as stuff like Shinto, Buddhism, Jainism, Taoism, etc. I went big on Buddhist psychology in grade 12.

    School is important, but never let a number or a teacher tell you it's their way or the minimum wage for you; even if the alternatives may be more nebulous and harder to see, it's not impossible to find elements of institutionalized education that are valuable and elements of life experience and entrepreneurship that are just as valuable. It's important to give it a lot of thought and look for where your passion lies.

    Absolutely.

    I was told I would never get into college or succeed.

    Now I have a master's degree.

    And he's still teaching at one of the worst high schools in Florida.

    I think it's more that I'm salaried and come in early sometimes anyway, if someone comes in 5 minutes before I would leave with something they need done I just stay and do it, and Friday afternoon PST is like a total dead zone in the alcohol industry.

    It's not that she doesn't care if I'm here or not, but she has the attitude that 3 hours of an early weekend is her privilege to grant if she feels like it.

    Also I really really hate this part-time bullshit because I spend all my time on short-term support issues and I never have enough time to work on long-term infrastructural projects
