    Raising kids seems like a real nightmare. You've got a good idea of certain things that work well on kids, then it turns out those have the exact opposite effect on other kids and then your instincts are to get angry/upset which is rarely the right thing to do and god.

    so much hard work.

    Lying to your parents is weird. I remember I used to never lie to my parents. Then one time my parents lied to me when I was 8 and I was like- "Oh that's how things are" and basically never felt any guilt over lying to them afterwards and would do so all the time.

    heh, yeah about the same age i started doing the same thing, just lying constantly and it pissed them off

    some point around my mid teens it tailed off and i haven't really lie to them since

    even when i reversed my dads car into a dyke >.>

    Welp, you may remember that I sent a very silly inquiry note to a director of social media at Whole Foods yesterday, asking how to find a person to talk with about a Director-level job offer there.

    This morning I get:
    Hi,

    That is pretty direct. I appreciate it in today's fluff-filled world. Have you already submitted and application online? For all of our positions that's a critical first step.

    I work on the marketing side of the house so I'm not 100% sure who is hiring for this position but I know who to ask. I'll do that and see if they are willing to have direct contact with applicants or if they would prefer to initiative conversations themselves as part of the hiring process.

    I'll get back to you in the next day or so.

    i will say that someone from marketing complaining about "today's fluff-filled world" is...

    well it's pretty rich

    It is kinda, isn't it. :)

    But hey, maybe Whole Foods is a different sort of-

    ehhh, no it's pretty funny regardless.

    Whole Foods literally survives on its marketing to the granola crowd, there is no regardless here.

    Eat your HFCS and like it, peons!

    They would NEVER sell fluff at a whole foods so they are within their rights!

    It depends on the train. If it's a sleek "bullet train", it's bad, even if it has "bullet" in its name. if it's a chunky coal-powered steam engine, it's good, because pollution is what God invented humans for,

    i have never got the knack for doing assignments

    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
    Are you in fact me.

    Neville and Sasha LOVE me I'd wake up sometimes with one of them cuddled into my chest and another cuddled into my legs

    When I passed out on the bathroom floor once Neville found me and sat on my chest and purred to comfort me and cried for help, alerting Aaron to my condition

    If my school had an online "this is your kid's homework" system, I'd have been a straight-A student.

    I think my problem is that I felt cheated - I was never challenged and got A's just by being smart, and was always told that I was smart. I recognized that I could get an A or B with 0 effort, and furthermore that the difference was based on externalities like whether the teacher was having a good day or liked me, so why would I bust my ass to get an A+ when it literally did not matter?

    It's not until I had a conversation the other day with my mom when she admitted that she never strove to be the best in anything that I've really started putting all this together.

    They have adult literacy classes. Do they have programs for learning as an adult to give 110% on things that don't necessarily matter? 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.

    I always read "cats are terrible pets" as "I am bad at being a cat owner".

    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.
