DopeGhoti<p>When driving, I was suddenly struck by a realization that there is one (more) thing about me that has been consistent going all the way back to my childhood.</p><p>Back in my junior high school days, my mother once (without my awareness or consent) arranged for me to have an "under-the-table" job getting paid $20 a week during the winter to get up early enough to stop on the way to school and sweep the snow from the entry area of a (admittedly rad) local bakery. She was very upset and confused when I said I was not interested, calling me lazy and inconsiderate.</p><p>What she did not understand, and what remains true about me to this day, is that I would <u>gleefully</u> pay $4 a day to get another hour in bed before having to get up.</p><p>Did I also make it a point thenceforth to stop in on my way to school to pick up a donut partially out of spite? Yes, yes I did. Because I'd also have paid $5 a day for more sleep, and their donuts were cheap.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Consistency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Consistency</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Memories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Memories</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Priorities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Priorities</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/HarmlessSpite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HarmlessSpite</span></a></p>
