Morning, all. Everyone's busy working here this morning, sheesh. The day just started, pace yourselves.
Morning, Joe.
So go ahead and ease in. We're waiting to see if you even made it to the whiskey tasting or not....
It's tonight. Tasting at 7pm. My class starts at 6:30 and runs for a good two hours. Doubtful that I'll get to the event.
Don't want to go skipping class first semester.
Pretty much! I could. There are of course ways to still get credit for it. But I'd catch absolute HELL from the wife, haha. Not worth it, yet.
There's a motivator you can't ignore.
Yep. And it's something we talked about before I started with school. It comes before whiskey and cigars. It hasn't been long yet but the adjustment has been crazy. For now, she's been good enough to let me just go outside while she entertains the kids so I can relax with a smoke while I've got some 'down' time on weekends. Giving credit where credit is due. Smoking during the online lectures is fun, too.
Where being drunk during class is almost ok...
Morning CabiWacky!
Morning, Shaun. Tough going back to school after graduating 9 years ago. I 'know' that the textbook stuff is nice and all, and necessary to get through, but ultimately things are much different in the 'real world'. Textbook knowledge is great, but you need practical knowledge. And you get practical knowledge by DOING it, not reading about it. But you have to read about it before someone will pay you to do it.
Sheesh.
But none of this is meant to be a complaint, despite it being Tuesday. It was my decision to go back to school so I'm not sitting around feeling sorry for myself.
Completely agree...nothing better than real world experience. Still surprises me we allow advanced degrees, Masters, Doc, etc, without real world experience...but that's another topic for another day
I have tangled with the idea of going back many times(wife is also, and planning kids, etc), just need to finalize what I want to go back for, but something is better than nothing!
