For a bastard you make an excellent dog and kitty daddy.
Yeah, I guess that's a good point. Have you considered online courses? I know you don't have much time to study, specially not now during this job, but it's something you could consider for the future. Like, something you can even take on your own pace.
I thought about it a few times. I could manage it, time-wise. I don't sleep much, anyway. A part of me though wants to avoid them out of spite. I never needed a traditional degree before, why should I need one now? That sort of thing. A part of me likes ruining the businesses and reputations of people who have a string of letters after their names and plaques on their walls.
You always feed your lieutenants straight from the palm of your hand?
Hmmmm I get it. But, you know, it's good to know you've got the option. You don't have to do the full thing to get that degree. But, if spite and stomping on other people's egos is what you seek, it wouldn't hurt to compete against those who do have a degree and show them that you can still best them. In their own arena, I mean.
I have the option, yes. If I decide I want to play on their field rather than forcing them to play on mine. It isn't as if I've had trouble teaching myself over the years.

Jokes aside or not.
Exactly. Different types of education that go with different needs.

I'm pretty priviliged, I know. But all the classes I was able to take, it all helped me get where I am now.

Have some mercy on those dipshits.

Date: 2025-06-11 11:34 pm (UTC)Now why would I ruin a good reputation by being merciful? C'mon, you have to admit you enjoy humiliating some people, too.
