yo. looks like there's still some residual effects coming up, but they should be pretty harmless since the kid was in charge of redistribution. she says it should be "cool". just don't do some damn idiot thing about them and you should be fine. this is absolutely not in my job description but the intern's busy and half of r&d is still banned and hr is on honeymoon. so you'll just have to deal with the lack of fancy bullshit. anyway. good luck or whatever.

There ain't a way to turn em off? The notifications? Like, what if I'm in class and people don't shut up? Been in enough trouble already to know where that goes.

[As if he isn't one of the ones who never shuts up.]

[blackwaterchild]

Turn it on silent? I didn't really think about that. I never really had to deal with a bunch of notifs from anything before.

I guess you could also just not take your phone to class. Might help in the 'keeping out of trouble' part. [There's an emoji sticking its tongue out attached to that to make it seem more a joke and less like a lecture]

[forreal]

[No, Miu. That makes too much sense.]

What and leave it in my locker? No way! Don't wanna miss any important conversations, and I'm not even sure if we can turn OFF these notifications. Have you tried!?

[blackwaterchild]

You're in class, you shouldn't be paying attention to your phone anyhow you know.

I haven't really, honestly. I just have my phone on silent most of the time, but out where I can see it if something comes up. I think you can set it up to notify you only if there's a new post, and not just new replies? I'd have to play with it a little more myself, sorry.

[forreal]

Kinda hard to pay attention in class when it's mostly just snooze fest. Least teachers can do is make things interesting...

[blackwaterchild]

Are you still in high school?

[forreal]

Yeah this'll be my last year thank effing god. I'm tired of it. Dunno what I wanna do for college or whatever though

[blackwaterchild]

haha it's not that bad! as for college, at least go and get your basics out of the way. take some stuff for fun. There's a lot of interesting classes about all sorts of things so there's bound to be something that catches your attention.

find out what you like to do or learn about, get a degree in it, that sort of thing.
[A pause.]

Sorry, didn't mean to turn this into Career Development Planning or anything.

[forreal]

Nah it's cool, I got it coming anyway. I'm sure the teachers got all kinds of career planning shit in the works for this year. Bet it'll all be mandatory for me to go too.

[blackwaterchild]

Probably. If you don't have a plan you could always wax poetic about 'finding yourself' in college?

Well if you need any help, I can try. I'm just starting college, but I do tutoring and stuff like that. And if you wanted to know about classes and stuff I can help too.

[education is important okay??]

[forreal]

Yeah, appreciate it. Just gonna try to take it one thing at a time right now yknow? Wanna focus more on my track team stuff this year before it's too late.

[blackwaterchild]

Oh, if you're really good, you might be able to get a scholarship, which would help. I don't do sports, but I got some myself.

And there might be a track team here--assuming you choose to go to college here, I mean. Maybe you could become a professional athlete. Go to the olympics and everything.
