  • I had a professor that made us use LaTex for our lab reports. Kept telling us it is an industry standard. I knew it was bullshit.

    Every time we had a guest speaker come and talk about their work (was in an EE program), I would ask if they used LaTex. ( I was bitter because I felt I was being forced to waste time learning something that I didn’t need to).

    Every single one said no. Some didn’t even know what it was.

    The professor always gave me a dirty look, but he never gave me shit about it, but he also never changed his policy.

    I’ve been working as an EE for 3 years now and I have still never seen LaTex in the wild.




  • I had a pretty solid career , in the Navy, and now I am an electrical engineer, with a pretty awesome family, and we own our own home.

    I have two siblings.

    My older brother lives in a trailer, can’t keep a real job and only ever calls to ask for money.

    My older sister has had six kids with four different men. I don’t take her calls because she just up and abandoned four of her kids. (Then had her sixth kid with the fourth father).

    I have no idea how I avoided that white trash destiny and I am racked with “survivors guilt”.
