    2. @kolzach apparently it gets you the # . Wish someone told me about that.

    3. @kolzach Spoken like a true dropout; you're on your way! (disclaimer I do not condone any acts of dropping out of school and won't take responsibility for any accidents that may occur).

      1. @awlpony Hey! Dropouts unite! I dropped out, get my GED, and now I'm in college. I can say I skipped high school and just went to college.

        1. @deziac I dropped out to more or less go back to what I had perceived as my home country and sign up for service (I was a real idiot). Good to hear you went better, though!

          1. @awlpony I'm one of those crazy people who actually like overworking myself, so.... And I'm guessing that didn't go too great for you?

            1. @deziac Seeings how I'm back in the States, it's a good guess. Though I did get my GED after coming back, as well as certifications later on to help me with my current job.

              1. @awlpony I'm sure you told me or mentioned it, but what's your current job?

                1. @deziac Auto mechanic, it's something I mention in passing but try not to because I realise it isn't in everyone's interest folder. That is stuff pertaining to the job. really though at times I just don't want to be reminded I have that job

                  1. @awlpony Aww I'm sorry. What don't you start training for another job then?

                    1. @deziac Actually I'm looking into courses for electrician work. Plus really the job isn't so bad, just not the greatest idea for someone who considered car work a hobby before. Or gets bored with tedium very quickly.

                      1. @awlpony Well good! My usual problem with work is I usually love the job, but hate the co-workers.

                        Friday, 20-Sep-13 06:52:14 UTC from web
                        1. @deziac My co-workers can be quite whiny most of the time, well a select few, but I generally ignore this part and they can at least perform their tasks. Kind of.

                          1. @awlpony The managers are what papaya me off. The fact they really do their jobs poorly and when I can find an easy solution and they refuse to listen is annoying but sadly part of the work world.

                            1. @deziac Sadly so, yes. Once in a while we get a new policy they attempt to ram down our throats concerning how we inspect vehicles. It doesn't bother me as I continue to do things the way I always have, just as everyone else does. Braggingly I like to say i'm the most efficient but that's bragging and not cool. Be cool and don't brag.

                              1. @awlpony I'm every workers dream, I like working and I like working hard. But nobody uses this, and instead puts me in dead areas till I'm bored out of my mind.

                                Friday, 20-Sep-13 07:32:10 UTC from web
                                1. @deziac It was like that with me until I decided to better my chances of getting work that would keep me interested... well that didn't last too long but to be expected from a shop that doesn't let us do much outside of minor repairs.

                                  Friday, 20-Sep-13 08:01:47 UTC from web
                                  1. @awlpony Yeah, sounds like what happened with my ex boyfriends job. He told him he would only let him stay if he quit college, I mean who does that????

                                    Friday, 20-Sep-13 08:10:11 UTC from web
                                    1. @deziac I couldn't imagine who would make that sacrifice. Then again, there are always elements in people's decisions outsiders won't understand.

                                      Friday, 20-Sep-13 08:11:50 UTC from web
                                      1. @awlpony Well, there was many things wrong with my ex boyfriend, but that's a whole lot of talk for another time, lol. But I feel an employer who doesn't want his employees to learn and grow is a bad one. Oh, and after he quit school 3 months later he fired him.

                                        1. @deziac ~Oh how gracious of that employer~
