I hated study hall since kids threw stuff and made noise. I could not do my homework. So one day I skipped study hall and went to the library, instead. Yet the librarian asked for a pass and I said I had none, I was just going to the library to study instead of going to study hall. She said I could not do that and I was skipping out, and then she asked for my ID and I refused. But I eventually gave in and she gave me detention (probably for refusing to show ID at first, more than skipping study hall?). I was so pissed. I may have let that show, I cannot recall. I hated librarians for a long time after that. I had never gotten a detention before. I was so upset and humiliated.
OK, so I was rebelling against authority. She had a the right to write me up. Yet it was so annoying because it all started just because I wanted to go to the library. The fucking library. I got in trouble, initially, for going to the library without permission. They should have encouraged me, not cited me. High school was too much of a police state for my liking. Teachers could be real ass holes at times. Ugh. I just wanted to be a nerd in peace! Hey teachers, leave us nerds alone! College was so much nicer. Nobody cared how you spent your time. My job is in between, since although I am a salaried employee and I am left alone to do my job, I still have to record my hours and I cannot take long breaks with taking leave, and I still have to do what I am told from time to time. I do not always see eye to eye with management when it comes to math or priorities.
