  • I completely understand.

    I spent a semester of college working at Home Depot. It was a terrible experience and awful in so many different ways that I consider it my second worst job experience, only slightly behind the holier than thou “Christian business” that didn’t pay its employees and actively committed fraud against employees, clients, and the government. 25+ years later, I still don’t like to shop at Home Depot, it was so bad.














  • Did anyone else get in school suspension?

    Yes, though my memory of it is kind of limited all these years later.

    It was a case of collective punishment. At least that third and final time the bus was late, it was because a number of the kids on the same route took too long to get on the bus and get settled, which caused us to be late. Some kids would wait to leave their house until they saw the bus or heard the horn beep. So, I guess they decided to punish everyone, for reasons.

    I don’t even think it was literally everybody that rode the bus, because some of the kids’ parents would/could drop them off at school any time the bus was late or not running. But that wasn’t an option for me.
