Today at work, three of the folks were bragging about how they never finished high school, and they were all the better for it. I don't mind if folks choose not to graduate, but I do think it's rather stupid. Anyway, I listened for a while, then when there was a lull said: "I graduated on the honour roll, at the top of two of my classes." They laughed, and said: "Yeah? And look where you are! Exactly in the same spot we are!" "Yes," I agreed with a twinkle, "and ten years earlier." I hadn't even thought about it until the very second that came out of my mouth, but it's true. And because I like my coworkers, I'll never mention it again. Time for sleeping. Now. . Rosie.
