Yes, it is hard from what I heard from other people.
This coming spring will represent the first time in my life since I joined the service back on the 4th of July 01 that I haven't been a public servant in some capacity or another. I wish I could say that the experience filled me with a faith in humanity that I didn't have at the start - but I'm pretty sure I came into with a whole hell of alot more faith than I'm walking out.
I started school again. Not thrilled about that. We've all been assigned a study group we're supposed to work with. There are so many hand ins we HAVE to do as group work. I hate group work so much. 1. I don't like people2. It always ends up being a last minute thing because nobody can be wrangled into actually working and that stresses me. 3. Because of 2, I end up doing the majority of the work just the be sure the assignments are actually done on time, resulting in the group just assuming I'll do that.

Schools don't teach people how to work in a group. They toss them together and hope they figure it out. This tends to result in group projects being pointless hassle.I started school again.

Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed.

but it means the tachers don't have to grade nearly as many assignments. Which is why they usually do it -.-'
I picked a study that is mostly remote and "individual" so I wouldn't have to deal with people... So why am I having to deal with people so much. Not all of us are people persons.

To be fair, social skills are skills not talents and more people could stand to learn them but if a school intends to teach them then it should actually find a way to teach them rather than throwing people at each other till they figure it out on their own because throwing people together till they figure it out doesn't actually work well for anyone who wasn't going to pick them up anyway.

Recently Florida voted against a math book for having "too much SEL [social/emotional learning]" because it included a lesson on making the classroom more welcoming to all ability levels, i.e. telling the smart kids not to be snotty knowitalls. I'm not looking forward to working alongside the next generation who seems to be actively prevented from learning cooperation.
Of course it did.
I'm going to find the extra-dimensional entity trying to shift this into the dumbest timeline and I'm going to turn it into a pizza.

oh I have the social skills. I lack the social energy. I get overwhelmed and burn out in people heavy environments. Which I why I actively chose something that would accommodate my needs... But then turned out to not be quite what it was advertised as. Still better than in person lectures.

I'm going to be bluntly clear about what I'm about to say: I strongly support the black mermaid and I strongly support social justice. I don't give a flying crap what everyone else said. If anyone has an issue about the black mermaid then it proved that you a racist and I don't want to associate myself with bigots. I still stand by what I say. I'm done.
