Just Like College, But Less Booze
I have a deadline to finish up this report for an energy assessment survey that we did for a customer, and I’m up late and just ready to give up for the night. Fortunately I have the ability to skip out on work in the morning to finish up this report. It’s like just skipping out on my 8:00 AM classes, so you can finish up the project for the 1:00 PM class, not realizing you are digging yourself into a hole for the early class as well. I thought the days of having this feeling of adrenaline mixed in with despair were long gone with college.
It seems like just yesterday I was awake in the dorms, delirious and struggling to finish my C++ program and noticing that everyone else online was also trying to finish the same project. Those were good times. Now I must sleep, because in the real world there is no AP (academic probation) or STD (subject to dismissal). There is only fired.
PS. Yes, I did tell people I got an STD notice more than once while in school.

You mean the C++ program I wrote for you, and stuck in little comments like “// The professor is gay”, and “// written by “, and you didn’t even look at the program, and almost turned it in?
Ahh, yes, those were definitely the days… :D

I believe the one you wrote for me had the comment “//written by your name here” which I almost turned in without changing.
Fortunately someone caught my oversight, or else I might be some graduate without a Computer Science degree and have some lame social science degree like Sociology instead. Wait a second…
