I Fucking Hate Facebook

this
...because last night at 4:00 am I was thinking about this:

I graduated 11th (I think) in a class of 168.  Out of the people who graduated ahead of me,

5 are engineers--3 have MBAs; at least one has a patent
3 are MDs (one of whom also has an engineering degree)
1 is a DDS
1 is both a CPA and a CFP and is a partner in her firm


Clearly the smart money was not on me in 1993. Next time put it all on black, Mom.

    Doesn't mean you're any less smart! You just chose the higher priorities. You rock.

    Facebook is a constant source of insecurity. I bet those 10 other people are dead inside.

    HA! I use it to beat myself up over those that are (unbelievably) married--some even have children--before I do. So, you know...at least you have a Papi & E&B...you still have me beat! (but you did that when you graduated at #11!)

Reading/ Watching/ Listening

 Reading: The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. I didn't like it nearly as much as A Gentleman in Moscow . In fact, I liked it only barely enough to keep reading. Watching: Poker Face , on Peacock. Papi and I have enjoyed watching this, one episode at a time, and not every day. It's a little formulaic, but the sets and the guest stars are fun. I like that it changes scenery every episode. Listening to: The Beatles Channel, Sirius XM. Ever since watching Get Back , the Beatles documentary, I've enjoyed listening to them with new ears.
