My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: What do you/parents do for work
I work with the ball and chain of Her Majesty's Government and the Scottish Executive as a school pupil under the Department of Education of Dundee City Council, and have no intentions of getting a job soon. And if my parents earned less then the Government would give me between £10 and £30 a week for merely attending school!
My mother works for the same, but as a teacher in a primary school elsewhere in the city.
My father works for NCR as a consultant engineer and designs bits for cash mashines, and has a variety of plaques on the wall affording his name to a variety of U.S. patents.
It was not theirs to reason why,
It was not theirs to make reply,
It was theirs but to do or die.

My late father used to be a tax official, and my mother is a administrative worker at a wholesale dealer in parts of household appliances and the likes. I myself work as a mailman (postman?) alongside my study.
Re: What do you/parents do for work
Mom’s a project manager at a factory and my bio dad owns his own machining company. My step dad was a pro gambler but cashed in his chips a few years ago.
Edit: I forgot to mention what I do… marketing, advertising and design.
Hey STF and any of you other youngsters out there, please allow me to offer a bit of advice when choosing a part time after school or during college job. FedEx. I was there for 3 years during college and it was great. They have a lot of 8 to midnight shifts at the airports or “ramp” locations (that’s where you want to be, the ramps are way more fun (Planes are cool!)then the “stations” or distribution places and being a driver is no fun, you don’t get to talk with anyone.) They also have a great tuition reimbursement plan and the pay and bennies are nice (plus no union dues
). And the best part… drum roll please… I lost the 30 pounds I put on while working at a restaurant in high school!
Stop into a location and they can tell you how to apply.

I'm a student/part time webdesigner/translator/programmer of sorts/fitness instructor/sailing instructor/diet advisor. Yes, I'm a busy guy.
My dad is a railroad engineer and my mum is a kobold/fortran programmer. They are both dead languages, pretty much like phoenician, so she kinda takes care of my lil bro at home.
