How to tell you ticked off a mathematician

Out of college I had a job waiting for me with the Corps of Engineers. Unfortunately, the Corps was pretty much gutted during the first few years of the Iraq war. They quit hiring, laid off new hires, begged people to retire early, etc. I had a co-op contract that they let me out of scott free. While it was nice to get over $10k in schooling paid for, I lost out on a high paying office job with minimal work.

Please, don't make me cry. I don't like to be reminded of my mistakes.
While I was going to school for my degree in CS I was offered a job to work, of all places, New York at an office located in the WTC. It doesn't take a genius to guess what happened next. Ever since then, I was always six to eight months behind in the graduate curve or 18 months too far ahead. Trying to manipulate my resume to match a job was like trying to stuff a 2008 CPU into a 1985 motherboard.
Then real life grabbed me by the nuts and hasn't let go.

All of that is life. You mean you got socially entangled.

Sounds like the first job I had at the bank. We had to write a reconsiliation report for every write off. The guy that filed the reports was a very bitchy administrator who liked nothing else but to send the report back if you forgot a comma or a point. It took hours to get all the numbers right so if you get it back because of a small mistake it's no fun. So a friend and I decided to write a report for him in classical Greek and use formulas for every number in there. He wasn't amused....
