You just keep raising and raising that status of yours.
Can you explain why you thought that the idea of being a "middle school teacher" would render someone lesser than you?
Let me share something with you: I was given the miracle of having a son in middle age recently. Yesterday, I got take him sledding for the first time and it was magical. I give thanks everyday for the gifts afforded a habitual sinner like me, and I really do mean that. Your psychology degree aside, you couldn't be more incorrect about my state of mind and if you think an obnoxious lawyer and a vacuous prof are even on my radar, you'd be terribly mistaken. I do enjoy needling you two when I so stop by, mostly because you embody the things you try (and fail) to foist on me. If I had to guess, I would peg it as owing to your high status positions and that you're unaccustomed to someone of a "lower station" not deferring to you and questioning what you assert, but it could be due to something else. In the end, only you can answer that or why you devote so much time to this place at the exclusion of real people, like family or friends.
