The Flame-Free Confession Thread II

Holy crap! Why didn’t I listen to myself? I’ve had two surgeries since that thread! :joy:

I guess no one can say I was being a wuss or too conservative. I proved my point, by golly!

My wife is crazy. This usually gets met with either a yeah, yeah stereotype or that I’m a sexist/misogynist but my wife is truly insane.

So my wife has had an intern added to her team. She started this week and has been having some issues. The previous additional to the team was a grad and again issues.

Tonight we are talking about it and it seems the crux of the problem was when they were discussing the intern’s first day over email.

At some point in the email chain, the poor intern starts the email with “Hey,” as opposed to “Good afternoon Ronda” or “Hello Ronda” or “… even ‘Hi Ronda’ would have been acceptable but not ‘Hey’” because that is too familiar, too early. Just to verify, this was a back and forth and was the interns 3rd reply in the afternoon. The intern has not been able to do anything right since.

Initially, I thought this was a hilarious joke but as my wife was becoming increasingly frustrated with my amusement at this I got thay sinking feeling in my gut and thought “My God, you’re not joking you are actually crazy”.

Anyway, I’m just documenting this incase I go missing because she is clearly the office psychopath and in my eyes that is one step removed from the home psychopath.

Just a footnote: my wife is a psychologist lol

Yeah. I’m glad the ivies rejected me now. CMU is the shit. I’m even enjoying the summer camp-esque orientation activities

Thanks for asking.

Also, one of my professors is researching the behavioral aspects of nutrition, so I’ll be stalking her office hours :wink: My time “researching” this stuff might not have been a waste of time after all

Bulking?

Lol.

Enjoy college, best 5 1/2 years of my life.

thinking about it

5.5yrs? What did you study?

Undergrad, doesn’t matter.

Speech Communication - really theater. Best degree ever. I acted like a salesman, I acted like a golf pro, I act like a teacher.

Brilliant.

My brother got two degrees in 3 1/2 years at Stanford. I’d suggest you follow his lead, not mine.

Yeah, I could technically graduate in 2.5 if I wanted, but I’m going to take my sweet time to really get into research.

WOW! mad respect!

Biology and German, lol. Great combo…for nothing.

You should do finance.

That was the plan, but now I want to be a professor and do consulting as a side gig

Pro of being a professor:

  1. free gym access and subsidized housing
  2. meet luminaries in the field
  3. No dress codes/makeup/ high heels
  4. intellectual freedom

All I have to do next is to find a classmate who could be the next Bill gates or something and become an investor (or wife- kidding… maybe?).

This thread is flame free after all

Good point.

He went to med school, was worth about $5M when he passed in 2001 at 39 years old.

Any value in that?
