    Exam done. Went to hell, but whatever.

    I now have lefse*, smoked salmon, dill, cream cheese, red onion, lemon for the salmon rolls

    red onion, lemon and painfully expensive but super quality fresh salmon for the tartare. I only lack chives.

    Now headed out again, for chives and a shopping spree at the wine monopoly because I finally have money again and I'm gonna spend it on good food and booze.

    Not the best way for my morning to start when I get a call from my son's teacher saying he has two late assignments as well as a project due in two weeks that she fears he hasn't done any work for. So she's asked to keep him after school to do school work and I'm left fuming because he's been lying to me everyday when I ask him if he has any homework and let him go out to be with his friends on the basis that he doesn't have any. :evil:

    Our school has a website where they publish all the assignments, and a fucking phone app with push notifications. It is impossible to avoid work and my kids hate it so much.

    I'd be fucking furious if my school had this.
    I used to lie to my parents about this as well. I was also really depressed.

    Man, if I get this, I'll maybe just take the stupid little train into downtown and walk to work. That would be pretty excellent.

    i thought you lived in like dallas

    aren't trains illegal down there?

    Austin, and the stupid greens have convinced the city to piss away money they could have used on good American highways to build a communist commuter rail system that goes nowhere (but sort of stops a few mile from my house at a park & ride, once every other Tuesday or something).

    Half the train cars are reserved for bicycles and sensitivity training. The other half are vegan-only.

Because I'm having a quarter-life crises, recognizing the very real potential of peaking at 26 and working $40k/year jobs for the rest of my life, and I'm desperately hungry for help.
    Telling your kid they are smart is really toxic.

    And man I wish I had a class that could turn me into someone motivated.

    I had a serious honesty problem as a teenager.

    My dad actually told me once "Just don't tell me what you're doing. What I don't know won't hurt me"

    Funny lesson from my father!

    Granted the conversation did go like this:

    I didn't try hard in school ever, because of the smart/potential thing, and because I don't care about anything really

    I could never muster the interest
