    In hindsight that's something I probably should've left out.

    You can really take that fucker and run with it.

    in my day the only people allowed in special ed either drooled on themselves, or had downs syndrome.

    Ironicly enough both the advanced classes and the special ed classes shared a hallway. I think they were hoping for some kind of osmosis to occur. However, all we ever did was try to avoid the vomit and urine on the way to advanced physics.

    three fulls stops midsentence denote a missing word, four indicates multiple omitted words, three at the end of a sentence mean that the remainder of the sentence is lost and is used to represent the speaker trailing off

    ending a complete sentence with them does not make any sense at all

    and the people that use them at the end of every sentence, like

    'so i was at this girls house...and we were fooling around...and this big fucking dog runs into the room...then we played some xbox...'

    i have no goddamned idea what those fools are trying to do

    Knob, your use of ellipses would imply slight embarrassment about having been in special ed though.

    I'm not really embarrassed on the subject.

    Was it something I edited earlier?

    Being in special ed doesn't necessarily mean you're stupid.
    Sometimes it means you get into alot of fist fights and people suspect you're on drugs.

    Sometimes it's because your father raped you and you're so afraid of adult males that you refuse to communicate with your teachers.

    Sometimes it's because you stutter.

    Usually it's because you made a mistake when you were four, and it was written down.

    That's the reason I don't like calling in sick at my job.

    If I want a day off I usually tell the managers about a week in advance, that way the guy getting dragged in at least has a heads up.

    I hate calling in sick, I always feel that if I'm well enough to use the phone I'm well enough to haul my fat arse into work. The good thing about this is that people actually see that you are ill when they send you home.

    Faking it seems odd, it's not like you can do anything other than hide in your house watching countdown.

    My job stresses me out and depresses me, so sometimes calling in sick is the only option.

    I think the 12 hour shifts are slowly driving me crazy. But doing them gets my 4 days off every 4 days, and lots more money.

    Usually, I'll call in and say I injured my back playing football, because that does happen sometimes ever since I threw my back out a few years ago.

    I hate my job so much, I normally just call them up and say 'I'm sick, and I won't be in today' and hang up before they have a chance to inquire.

    They tend to roast me the next day about it but I just ignore them.

    My bosses don't give me the respect they expect me to give them so fuck em.
    My GM gave me her cell number in case of emergencies in exchange for mine. She called me at about 8:00 in the morning (I work second shift, I was still asleep) and I answered.

    I call her 5 minutes after her shift is over and she turns her phone off.

    Bitch.
