136. Ah, this 'gun porn' concept reminds me of when I was in grad school

Wed May 25, 2022, 09:11 PM

May 2022

in the way-back-when. I did a year in an MBA program and then transferred to Counseling Psychology and Counselor Education because all I wanted to be was a career counselor - figured understanding biz better would help me in the counseling in the long run. I stayed in that MBA program until I couldn't stomach the values any more - when they began referring to workers as 'units' of labor in Managerial Economics, I'd had enough. We aren't UNITS, you know?

Anyway, I sat in a few classes with this guy from Phillip Morris. Talk about teflon - he had been well schooled. NOTHING anyone said or did made any difference - he was always ON point. I guess we could call what he spouted 'smoker porn.' Same thing, I think.

Nice to hear from you!
