And so I think that was a lot of consolation.

It's like it doesn't really matter what I'm doing at this point because I kind of love doing it.

I knew I was in the right area, finally.

Yeah.

Yeah, not the smartest move.

There's no moment when I dropped out.

You just go less and less and less until you realize it's going to be embarrassing if I show up because I haven't been there in a long time.

And then pretty soon you're just not going.

And that's how you drop out of high school.

So if you find yourself on that path, stop doing that.

but that's precisely what I did.

And so now I'm not at school and I have to get a job.

So I'm working at 7-Eleven and a paint warehouse and stuff like that.

And 7-Eleven is actually kind of an interesting job because it's a job I think they keep rotating for people that are smart enough to do the night shift with all the accounting and the administration and stuff they make the night shift do, but that have reasons personally that they need to work at 7-Eleven.

And I was one of those people because I had no high school diploma.

Probably the worst moment for me.

I mean, I got held up at knife point and stuff, and that's all entertaining, but the worst, the most...

The suckiest part for me was doing the gas dips where you've got a long, it's like a 15 or 20 foot wooden stick and it's measured in gradients of inches and feet and you drop it into the gasoline tanks and then you bring it up and you measure where the gasoline sits because there's no electronic sensor.

So I'm doing that.

And the first time I do it, I dropped the pole and I redrab it.
