I've been working hard on something lately. Today I think I'll take a break for half the day and hook my Wii U up.

So I'm at the public library right now, hanging out because I have nothing else to do, and some middle aged man sits at the table across from me and he starts a conversation:

Man: "Shouldn't you be at school right now?"

Me: "School's over for me, I just finished university"

Man: "Congratulations, what's your degree in?"

Me: "Music"

Man: "Oh, what a waste of a degree. Can't believe my tax dollars are going to schools offering such useless majors. You're just going to be another one of those losers mooching off the government because there are no jobs for people with pseudo-degrees."

Me: "Shouldn't you be at work right now?"

Jerk: "I'm a doctor and I work nights down at the hospital."

Fucking dickface, saying I wasted my education and received a pseudo-degree. I got up and moved to another table.

Wow.

On another note. Compared to being a doctor, any job would seem bad. Just check their salary range.

I'd have gone off on him about how he's just a legalized drug pusher. What a prick.

If he is working nights that most likely just means that he is a doctor in the ER and doesn't have his own practice - those guys don't make a whole lot, actually. Attending doctors do all their rounds during the day, on regular business hours (9-5 generally), and they make more money. Doctors here don't make as much money as ones in the US because we don't have HMO's, but they still make a fair amount more than other professions.

My uncle is a surgeon in California who has his own orthopedic practice and he thought it was great that I was going to school for music. His daughter is at DePaul in Chicago studying classical piano. So this guy at the library was just an outright jerk.

Nah, I have no idea if he's certifiably crazy or not... wouldn't risk it.

Got an 8HP motor last night for $10 (a buddy bought it for me at an auction). It's goin on one of the go-carts today! I just gotta look around for a clutch.

I'm going to get ****ed up and prance around in one of my brand new dresses that was just delivered

It's a very Hermione day.

Now I'm just picturing you in a pink sundress with your pink pig tails dancing around in a dirty apartment with a cigarette between your lips. The last part might not make any sense, but since I now see you as Helena Bonham Carter, there has to be dramatic contrast to the "pretty pinkness".
