To dumb to steal

Well-Known Member
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
Tired of livin' like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
And this is how you remind me

Well, this song was on radio, long time ago. Memory just cropped up. Memory of thinking if I could try sales I could earn a better salary. Have you ever felt too dumb to steal, idiot for not lying and that advantage was just against you in all odds.
I'm even worse in that I clean my house, tired I washed kitchen cupboards. I don't use slaves or workers, and do twice as much work.
Asked my son to let algebra go, kindly explained business management with maths theory. He isn't keen to give up his idea of being scientist, or hear another one of my rants about earning difference between CEO and ironically I say the idiot scientist.
 
We're not supposed to steal and lie. Stealing and lying are both wrong. Stealing is actually illegal and in some circumstances, so is lying.
 
The stories about prisons and being given a tour of a local jail have been enough to show me that I don’t want to end up in them.
 
I meant in way of surviving the business world, not theft but rather how to legally commit white collar exploiting of others, how to lie or not tell truth to deliberately get ahead in life. In other words the life skills of the NT

This video is brutal, honestly I've got this mindset to adapt and not die, I nearly went down the drain, had no one to depend on.

 

I've got this synical ability over years to cut through society, dogma and lies. So I've met Russians who have degrees and work for same salary as everyone...yet since it's called communism and not capitalism it's not discipline!!
Ye, well if Chinese janitor packed up and had to clean up after yourself then adapting Montessori system in class of tidy up and pack away, makes lot of sense!!!

Really laugh at surviving a Kayla challenge because some people are just up so clueless,
Learnt brilliant German meme it states: a new broom sweeps very clean and therefore knowing this we avoid working too hard by exploiting others and then refering to the past to deny any wrong doing.

Need to stop being synical and devising idiotic riddles when I'm in a bad mood.
 
Dishonesty is wrong.
I know and totally agree, but realising system is wrong, doesn't help. Only to find years later my children are going without what others have because I'm such idiot, I didnt adapt sooner to give em the best life they deserve.
Is it a crime to as parent not know how to explain to most possible school option that my son has what kind of disability, needs inclusion to get his distinction grades to become his dream job of being an underpaid scientit (or whatever)
Prior to that was before I was able to pay for Montessori who asked us to leave, prior to that we in boat of me not having funds and after being on waiting list due to school crisis, stumbled like further idiot on miracle that happened and failed.
So if you don't have kids, you don't understand
 
I Have two kids raised both, do not kill your sons dream I had the same dream wanted to become a particle physicist since public school dream sort of died when gift for math not their my gift was ability to visualize not math proofs. so
took chemistry in college became a chemical engineering technologist. First job after graduation was on a coil coating line making 7K per year. sure the money was not great A foreman told me one day Ron look around they paint every thing. Become an expert and you always be employed Told me about a local college program that offered courses for paint company, Through Toronto society for coating technology, I took the courses even through I worked in the application of coating's not manufacturing. most of my fellow students worked for paint manufacturing plants. This gave me a real edge working for applicators over the years their suppliers could not B.S. me as knew their process and manufacturing methods. I became expert not just on the. paint, also the substrates treatments. colour control, also really familiar with the chemistry as I was good at organic chemistry with first diploma I changed jobs a few times chasing promotions, which never happened very frustrating. Finally landed a dream position coil coating line with various substrates, treatments thousands of colours Perfect fit for my Aspergers as anal need to organize. customer could change substrate colour, treatment at will and sales could change supplier at will as I controlled the suppliers, knowing their capabilities. Retired after 21 years a superstar in coating application. I see my handywork every where. a controlled a good chunk of the colour I see around me. Either way I never chased money just recognition via promotion. Never happened over forty years. I also know a scientist. yes he makes well over six digits
he on what they call the sun shine list.

I have interactions with sales people all the time. One thing I do know, is that you honestly need to be a "people person" to connect with a potential customer and be intuitive enough to have a sense of "what buttons to push" in order get a sale. I have been approached several times by sales people wanting me to be part of their sales team because I am very knowledgeable in my little niche. However, I am not taking a group out to lunch, I am not going to negotiate a sales and maintenance contract with some department manager or owner. I know I can teach well, but I am not the guy you want actually trying to sell you anything. I cannot "read" people well and cannot charm or humor someone into a sale. I generally find people confusing and exhausting.

I helped a Russian woman years ago place molded plastic parts for a car that they then painted she had a masters degree in mold design, our process engineer thought she was an idiot, no respect She had told me the mold was flawed. I went up front told him he was an idiot, what do you know about Russian culture. The plant manager respected me for my insights I got her a promotion at a sister plant, along with wages commensurate with her experience and education. Yes the mold was flawed. Done stuff like this my whole career. I do like seeing people being exploited. Weird the mold even had a second flaw which I figured out It was not case hardened, on one area of the part paint would chip off. I could just visualize the reason for surface tension in this area. Even bought some surface tension test kits to prove I was right. The manager did not to spend the money to case harden the mold. So I pushed stupid job got fired week later customer forced the mold to be case hardened took severance package got much better position on coil coating line a few weeks later. I do not put up with fools, will debate anyone if your wrong. I'm the boss so I'm correct does not work on me.

I've spent some time in last 2 weeks of getting him on good routine of waking up earlier, considering packing games away. Having done science I was also able to show him formulas and where he went wrong, not theory. Honestly I was so rusty but able to point out whether checked answer at the end, and just few pointers but I mean rusty in that I never used most of this and I was a programmer.
To be blunt most companies want RAD (rapid dev) so VB had its place in history, like it or not. Most systems were really automating and the more complex such accounting was where all formulas are available and mostly maintenance or adding something new from time to time.
With AI this is changing even more, where more comprehensive than excel.
Another note is of all the 'engineers' which fancy term for artisans who did learn formulas and maths specific to fields, not used. Electricians most complex job involves voltmeter. And at end of day it's really about paying bills, who loves what they do in real world? Make it worse is harder everyday, and my ex and I battled as never enough money even when working. Consider school isn't free, pls people stop saying ignorant stuff like edu is free.
Worst irony is the work that I do more is political and guarantees income more than jobs availability in changing political sphere. Example: so and so is brilliant mechanic, however due to his attitude he looses customers. And this happens a lot, perhaps complex projects one sourcing good parts or talent but with competition it's really buddy system and I learnt hard way in South Africa to adapt to other people's viewpoints in order to align with business policies.
 
I suppose I could be little less dumb and get creative with my neighbours fence but that's dishonest and stupidity like switching fence on while I'm disconnecting wires.
I could sit and consider a reverse current and whether I could blow a total fuse by accident, too. But mindful of epsculating tensions further since it's not worth it, rather try be peaceful. I've threatened with SPCA over dog bite and they apologized and offered but my tetanus is up to date, I don't like that dog but don't think it's in my nature to poison dogs even in my worst hair trigger meltdown.
But I think a healthy respect was established regarding my reverse current capabilities.
