And my son's expressed interest in becoming an engineer. While sure, schools might not look at Grade 8 marks as much as say later years of HS now is the time to start putting effort in because it sure as heck isn't going to get any easier and I'd like him to try and take some pride in what he does if he wants to succeed.
It is kinda, isn't it.
But hey, maybe Whole Foods is a different sort of-
ehhh, no it's pretty funny regardless.
yeah but it reminded me of tamogochis and how i used to have a t-rex one and it was aaawwwwwwweeeeesooooooooome

The thing was, if my parents punished me for not doing homework. All it made me do is not want to do homework at all.
So I didn't
Whole Foods literally survives on its marketing to the granola crowd, there is no regardless here.
Eat your HFCS and like it, peons!

Naw, he just lulled you into a false sense of security. Now you're on the list.
So maybe somebody just cutting through the BS and going "Look, I want to work for you and I know the job I want to do" is kinda refreshing?
w/e I just want the interview.
I legitimately do like the company though, and I remember it when it was just the one Austin market that always got flooded out in the springtime. And the Whole Earth Trading Co. where I bought my climbing gear before REI was a thing. And the WELL BBS.
oldskool, yo
same it was partly what you said it was either too hard or too boring partly that i thought homework was bullshit (they get me for eight hours a day and they want my free time too?? FUCK OFF)
i just have problems with motivation and attention span, and i get to a point where i've procrastinated enough and i feel i may as well just not do it
the issues were never solved as a kid
i still have them as an adult

1,000 steps today, and none of them near a playground or school!
one year in AP English I gave my teacher a fit because I added up the number of points I needed to get a B and then stopped doing work when I hit that number
Why does my internet not load pages properly?
First off, it loads super slowly.
Second, it gives up halfway through!
Here's what IMGur looks like to me!

one time I dropped English the moment I got my college offer
this bit me in the ass a year later when I was asked to prove English proficiency
you don't say
I am so disillusioned with work right now
tired of people drinking the koolaid about how critical their job is, tired of management attempts to raise engagement so they can wring more work out of us without making changes that would actually make people, you know, happier to be here
and the saddest part is that it's my job to brew the koolaid
combine equal parts sugar, and koolaid packet, mix with tears ;_;
My daughter would love it because she'd get to use the car.
Don't get me wrong, I like it too! I am mainly thinking of my vegan roommate from six years ago who would stand there in the kitchen and tell me about how her prepared meals were so much healthier than what I was eating because she would go literally to the other end of the city to the whole foods, and I stopped by the Safeway on the way home.
And I was like, bitch, everything I am eating is made from raw ingredients, and everything you're eating is frozen because you literally don't know how to work the oven, put down the marketing brochures!
well I mean
the following year I did flunk out of college so
Yesterday my boss called me into his office to ask me why an issue was labeled "Trivial" in the ticket system. I explained the severity scale to him (Trivial, Minor, Major, Critical) and he told me he was worried the user would get offended by having the problem labeled trivial.
I had to change the issue to "minor impairment".
So I did that, and then sent out another application.
I don't know about his grade in the class but he was the only kid in the school (3000 strong) to make a 5 — the max score — on the AP English exam.
My parents weren't really able to get me to do it either. I would just flow away from any commands, and if told to go to my room I'd just read which I was fine with. Plus I think they thought I could get into a pretty good school based on just my SAT score and its not like I was impregnating meth addicts so they were counting their blessings. So I just got constant "living up to potential" stuff until high school and by then most of the teachers knew about me and just shook their heads. Every once in a while one would ask me why I didn't get my head out of my ass in a polite way but I just has a block and by then it was kinda my thing. I was the lazy guy.
College taught me that you can't just breeze by without doing work even when you're not getting paid (that kind of work was never a problem) because its even less about tests and more about showing up. But I almost assuredly would be making more money and would have had more college opportunities if I hadn't been a dumbass.

Well clearly the secret is to have an indecipherable scale, spool!

ever
it's the primary reason for my abject failure in all forms of education
i can never just sit down, plan it out, say "this task will take x hours", and just begin the work
can't do it, as soon as i think about it my gut churns and my brain produces an automatic "NOPE" impulse that cancels out the command to do the work
it always takes a looming deadline and a fit of stress and panic to push me into action and I'll push something half assed out at the 11th hour just before the deadline passes (if i'm lucky, if i'm not i fuck it up and miss the deadline)
don't get me wrong I've achieved some good grades with this method so i'm apparently not a complete idiot, but the problem is it kills me and i hate it more than anything else in the world
so yeah, i just lack some necessary quality necessary for academic success and i'm not sure how to get it
