Amusing and wise comparison of "The Look" from a therapist and the stupidity of the teacher with the warmth you felt (and still do) from the animal world!

Teachers can be incredibly cruel, and I had a few. Before phones, we had one who screamed at us and terrified us, and made me flee computer club crying when I was thirteen. I'm sorry that teacher tormented you. I bet your seal friend was as friendly as this one:

Oh my goodness, that video is *the dream *. (Even though according to one commenter it’s probably a once-injured-now-rehabilitated-seal who was released & can hunt & survive in the wild just fine but still is probably a bit too friendly with humans.) Still ... *the dream*! Thank you!!!!

And given your story, I’m so surprised you ended up in tech! You’re a tough mother plucker, Pluck, just like me & my lil’ baby seal.
