College hack: I was tired of college so I changed my major to General Studies which had the laxest requirements. The biggest requirement was a certain number of classes at the 3000 level or higher. Then I did a year abroad in Paris. The exchange program gave 3000-level credit for any course taken in French (as opposed to English). So I took first-year courses and finished my degree early. Plus I got to name my degree. Bachelor of Computational Linguistics

I had a terrible supervisor at work. He would send incomprehensible one-line emails that he dumped into his Blackberry at all hours. They would usually be some unimportant and ridiculous task for me to do. At first, I would stress out trying to do them all to a high level. I eventually started replying immediately to the email with the short, cryptic message "Need more detail." That put the ball back in his court, and of course he'd never send anything back.
