  • I got a paddling for calling a student teacher “Mr. Ummmm… Dude” bc I couldn’t think of his name. The actual teacher said that was the equivalent of him calling me an asshole.

    Also

    I got suspended because we were selling cookbooks for some event and I didn’t pay attention to the price. I asked someone before I left for the day and they lied and told me double the price. It was 5 he said 10. I learned from a friend that I was told wrong the next day after it came up I sold my mom’s bf one for 10. Principal overheard and I got suspended for 3 days. The art teacher that was in charge of the event told me I “disgusted her” and to get out of her sight.

    I could probably go on. School was dumb.

















  • It’s safer to not do a lot of stuff. Soooo many things everyone does every day “can get messy.” But I’ll be damned if I spend a third of my life being a work robot. Granted, I’m not in a cut-throat, dog eat dog work environment like I imagine a lot of folks are, but it’s bad blanket advice to say don’t make friends at work. I work with two other guys, we all do the same thing, we all have similar interests, and we would all be super stoked for each other if any of us got a promotion.

    Good advice: Just use your brain. Yeah, if that bitch Carol from accounting is gunning for the same position as you, probably don’t tell her how hard you were partying last weekend with the bosses daughter. But if Dave from IT is talking about that super sweet video game you’ve also been playing, get in there and have a fun chat with Dave. Get his screen name. Kill some zombies with Dave.

    Just pay attention, read the room, and think before you speak. You can definitely have work friends in any work environment if you don’t make dumb decisions.
