I am severely regretting attending a liberal arts college and continuing to pursue Computer Engineering. Coding is a skill I posess and apparently it is hard for other people. All advisors / mentors / people who know stuff and things have brainwashed me into thinking that a well rounded liberal arts education and a complete knowledge of the entire computer system is important to being employable. For the kind of work I want to do it is completely unnecessary.
Minus meeting a lovely girlfriend I wish I had gone to some nerd school to nerd out with nerds and stuff.
My partner for an embedded systems class is a good salesman. We had a cigarette and I asked him about splitting the workload for a project. He told me that his girlfriend of four years left him last week and now not only does he have to raise his seven year old daughter alone, but he also has to take care of her stupid cat for a couple weeks. I did the project on my own.
Provocative Saturday night coming soon...

Side effect of sleep deprivation: this has me laughing so hard I feel sick. And not the good sick.

This reminds me of someone I knew who would sit up in bed with her glasses on reading a book called "the hard truth about soft skills." It was like being in a bad fucking movie where people sit up in bed and wear glasses and read books.
Once I read through part of the book. Based on the title, I had assumed that the message would be "the hard truth about soft skills is that everyone has them, and if you don't have hard skills, you're probably going to be fucking broke." However, the book actually argues the opposite: that soft skills (not hard skills) are typically the factor limiting workplace achievement. Hmm.
