  • Tbf, a guy who’s that unreliable would have a ton of difficulty holding any job at all due to unexcused absence. He’d probably be working below minimum wage or getting fired every other week.

    Although things have obviously changed a lot. I’m reading mercy Thompson right now, where a character complains about barely being able to afford living alone after giving away 60% of their check. Iirc they’re supposedly a waitress.

    I had exactly two English teachers who were good, which was all I needed.

    One when I was young, taught me how to communicate and understand complex ideas properly.

    Another my first year of college, who taught me that deeper meanings and subtleties in fiction wasn’t entirely bullshit. Surprisingly, she did this by making us read Frankenstein and watch Blade Runner.

    Everything in the middle though…woof. Learning to write academic papers has no value unless you’re an academic, and the other 10 literature courses I took all just made me hate reading, even the year where we just read my 4 favorite books.
