I’ve called companies that disconnect the call or “in order to connect you to the right agent, please tell us what you’re calling about,” them inevitably get it wing enough times to make you sit through a menu of about ten choices that are not correct and disconnect after three rounds of this nonsense.

"I’m sorry you’re frustrated, perhaps it’s time to start a new topic.’

“I’m not going to respond to that.”

Lemmy is too polite for that. Thank gawd.

It’s funny because it’s true, which makes me incredibly sad. I’m talking about real teachers, who are degreed and actually care about their students.

Oh?

Well it worked with me, because I paid it.

A lot of people aren’t impressed. I’ve seen people who are ten steps ahead while everyone else thinks they are ten steps behind.

Society doesn’t reward intelligence and drive, together or singly. Society rewards mediocrity (make boss look good, not yourself) and undercutting.

Of course!
