@ Zeality: Sucks, no other way to put it. When I finished undergrad I didn't have any more willpower to continue on with schooling, and I gotta give you props. From what I hear from my buddies in grad school right now: it's a ton of work.
@chrono eric: I have no sypmathy for tow truck drivers. Being a smoker, I didn't appreciate those comments, but it's not as if they were unfounded or anything. neither here nor there. When I lived in FL, I literally was across the street from where FSU played football games *momentary nostaligc breakdown ensued right about here while posting*
On gamedays, the tow truck drivers were rabid. They jimmied open a car OF A RESIDENT while I, rather ironically, was outside my apt smokin' a cig. I see this and go bang on her door to tell her what's up. She comes running out screaming at these guys about her parking tag (in plain view) and how she's a resident and this that and the other. The reply was a bunch of mumbling "uhhh I dunnoooo's"
One thing (among MANY)I will always thank my Mother for is teaching me about "you don't know." Sometimes, you just don't know what is/has happened in someone's life. Example: I was just at a job group interview a few weeks ago. These two twin brothers come in an hour and a half late with handwriteen resumes....on notebook paper....The initial reaction? "Geeeeet the fuck outta heeeeeeere" But you never know. With parenting and education both literally in the shitter in this nation, you just never know what's going on. ya never know. The point of all this long windedness is THIS:
With tow truck drivers...you know. You ALWAYS know. They are assholes.
