The funny part is that nobody even asks me if my quitting my job reduced our net income.

Everyone knows I didn't work, so that we could have more money. I worked, so that I could tell people that I worked.

you are a rare bird, lady... the rest of them are so glued to their status updates and have to make up shit so they don't lose friends while you are like "hah, i got plenty of friends here, they love listening to what i talk about, and they don't expect me to lie to them"

Yeah, basically.

Or maybe I'm just socially retarded.

well, this "social" thing that entails constant, and obvious lying doesn't sound like anything that we want in our society anyway... sounds more like a hierarchy of abuse to me

Some of the most important jobs are unpaid. A person who can make things happen and get things done without requiring a paycheck to motivate them is a person of value.

I was supposed to be learning more boolean algebra today like the Master Theorem and practicing inverting insertion sorts, but I went and cleaned the house and organized the closets, instead.

This is why I have no college degree and I'm such a disappointment to everyone. I'm some sort of an idiot.

The worst is when I try to focus on something and the voice in my head gets really loud and starts ranting at me to focus and think and it gets mean and just goes on and on and on and doesn't shut up and I can't hear my own thoughts over the ranting and I give up and go clean something or dig up weeds, and my husband comes home and is like, Hi 😊, did you get the practice drills done?

college degrees are mostly rubbish, having worked as a programmer for a lot of the last 8 years i can say that the only thing that really matters is architecture, that's the stuff i struggle with, everything else you can learn as you work

You don't get a college degree in order to do something, you get it to be something.

completely screwed up incentives
