But, like, this child. I was essentially assigned to this one child all day. I basically had to sit there and tell the child to sit properly, with his feet on the floor and his butt on the chair. I had to praise him if he actually did his work. That was literally all I was being paid to do.

That's more difficult than it sounds.

My final professor is Professor O'Malley. He looks exactly like how you would expect a college history professor to look -- shaggy gray hair, a tweed coat, glasses, freaking tall.

I have been annoyed at Home Depot ever since I got back from Rome. On my first day back, I had to stay a half-hour late because I was taking care of customers. I tried to leave at the right times, but to no avail. I finally slipped out while a 5-gallon was shaking. I told Jim it was past time for me to leave so I was leaving.
