Elroy, you just had to jab two fingers into Arnold's mouth, didn't you? Evidence unlawfully obtained. Oh, and start questioning him without reading him his rights, why don't you! Jeez.

It is best to opt for a facet of law where the cops are very much just props that occasionally open cell doors for you.

Or something. Find something you'd wanted to do but never did and do it.

Well, it isn't like I have all day to myself. Just a bit longer before I need to start moving. I'm just used to getting myself up and having an hour to wake up, get read, and get to the bus stop. Now... I've been up for 2 hours... and still have around 40 minutes before I have to be at the stop

So, I walked down to the nurse cause my stomach, and my overall body in general wasn't feeling to good. My body felt numb. All the nurse did was check my temp. say that I was fine and asked if I wanted to rest or take a couple Tums...and I took the Tums. Let's just say that nothing is feeling better. Maybe I should text my mom to see if she can pull me out of school...

It is also possible that she told you about it, but you weren't listening. You probably responded with an automatic "yes, dear", the rest is history.

They open cell doors and they bring people places they don't want to go, when ordered by a competent judge. Oh, and look menacing during sporting events, but that falls under being a prop, I guess.

Which is highly unlikely in this case, because it is actually easier to pay attention to your significant other and listen to what they have to say.

If our schoolteachers had told us that civil engineering meant building a portal that let us travel to fantasy novel universes and confirm their workings we might have changed our minds about choices for further study.

Not at all. Not paying attention is much easier.
After 20+ years, knowing when to "yes dear " is automatic.

Not really the angle I was playing on, but I am bitterly disappointed and see no reason to continue our acquaintance, regardless.
