Here, I thought that Stanford was the only school I hated. I wore my “Berkeley” sweatshirt to the gym and TIIIIIIIIM from Stanford said, “Where did you get that, the thrift store?” Hahaha, he got me.

But someone from work told me that she was going to University of Phoenix and I was immediately no longer attracted to her. I mean, I like Portland State University, I have nothing against Community Colleges, but University of Phoenix or DeVry or ITT Tech all bother me. Schools for profit seems to be the wrong motivation to teach. Like I said, I’m a school snob.

Even worse, it’s my 20th reunion this year from Em Eye Tee. I was going through the list of people I apparently went to school with:

• NASA director
• another NASA director
• partner in a NYC law firm
• co-creator of “Dharma and Greg” and “Caroline in the City” (and one of the more attractive women at MIT)
• orthopedic surgeon with an MD/PhD from Harvard and MIT
• etc.

And here I am working at Megacorp. Like I said to a co-worker at lunch, “Back to moving the mouse. It isn’t going to move itself.”

What I learned at MIT is that I’m a moron and afterwards I figured out that most people aren’t as smart as me. I’m not saying I’m better than other people, just that I’m better at science and math and actually pessimistically predicting the future. I can’t put up with much crap, but crap also makes the world go around. That much I’ve figured out.

Needless to say, I’ll miss the reunion.
