  • I was with a large organization as tech support and upper IT pushed out an update that corrupted everybody’s certificates to log into the network. Imagine having to talk 40k users, who most of them whined and bitched to us about having to do all this work to fix the computer, through a removal of the old certificate, reboot, get the new one after logging in with a backup account, rebooting again and verifying that they can log in. Each computer was about 20-40 minutes to get done. We only had about 50 of us working at peak hours. It took about 2 months of non stop calls to get them fixed.

    My mom would have to make me put books down to eat dinner. Then came along 5th grade. We had to read 50 books, each one representing a US state and the states were grouped up in different categories. The books had to be chosen from a pre approved list and the books were anywhere from 6th grade to 8th grade reading difficulty. Then we had to write a full page summary on the book. Which meant on average we were reading more than a book a week. That piled on top of all the other homework the other teachers piled on and it was fucking miserable. I spent almost every school night from the moment I got home to the moment I had to go to bed doing homework, also I had to get up early because I was the first bus stop so yay getting up at 5:30 AM to make the bus. Bonus was I was also the last stop so I got to spend over 2 hours a day on the bus. I usually had so much homework that I’d start doing it on the bus home. Oh and if you fell behind in reading you got punished by staying inside for 2nd recess to read more. By the time I left 5th grade I hated school, I hated reading, I hated teachers, and I hated learning. And I still do to this day. I feel like the education system failed me and I’m suffering for it now.
