OK, you're 14 now, it is time for us to talk about a few things. If you have sex with someone, use a condom, and make sure you do not sign their public key unless you really trust them.

Eh, my HS in the 80s was a combination vocational and academic school, servicing 3 towns in Massachusetts.

I've had managers and directors at my old company brag about how they never take vacations. Personally, I think it was more like they didn't want to take time off because they'd have to spend it doing something with their wives. It's also a pretty shitty leadership position to take. Thankfully, one of our directors came in from the UK and took every vacation day he was allotted during his tenure. That showed 'em!:D
