^^^^^^^^

I cheated on an exam once. I had been sick all exam week, so I got to retake it and was left in a room, alone, with my backpack, including my book. And this professor was the only one who would not allow computers in class, and I physically can't both take handwritten notes and actually absorb anything in class due to a learning disability. And I explained this to her and wanted to work with her, offered to go get official testing (I did have testing done, but it wasn't good enough for my school, and she was the only professor I had an issue with, so I hadn't needed to do the expensive testing before). But she said that she doesn't allow computers (or recording of the class) and positive testing wouldn't make a difference to her. I could have fought it and made her hate me, but I sucked it up and tried to learn the class. My notes were terrible. Barebone and nearly illegible. And my retention of things said in class was minimal at best.

So anyway, I got sick exam week, and got to retake. I did fine on three out of the five essays, but on two of them I just had no idea. So I took a quick peak at my book.

So I passed. Got an A in fact. And I have mixed feelings about it because, on the one hand, cheating, but on the other hand, that teacher was an ass and seemed to go out of her way to make learning difficult for quite a few of us.

oh, god, I had a bitch prof like that in college. hugs if you want.

I really stretched the truth about my role at my last job. Nothing was an outright lie but I did give myself titles I was never called. But I got a great job from it so....I am not too bothered.

The Euphemism
1) "I'm fine, nothing much going on". Keeps my family out of my business so I can concentrating on soliving problems rather than dealing with moderating everyone's oppinions fielding know-it-all suggestions, or (least helpful of all) comforting THEM for how my problems make them feel. Learned to tell this one the HARD way. Helps that I've moved far far far away so the lie is way easier to sell.

The Disphemism
2) "yeah, still no real progress on the project, this is a real tough one". Which I tell to my collague who has an unhealthy obsession with winning against me. So that she chills and gets the fuck back to her own desk and responsibilities instead of trying to figure out juuuuuust how far I am and juuuuust how she can finagle herself a step ahead. Gawd I thought the drama ended in college, but I was wrong.

And a random bonus lie:
"Prof. X needs these books by Tuesday". / "Prof. X suggested we buy this if there's something left over in the budget"
Because if the librarian knew that it's just ME wanting or needing things... yeah. If it helps, Prof would probably sign off on these things but is ridiculously busy and hard to get ahold of.

I lied on my resume about how much experience I had and listed a couple of friends as references who backed up my lies. I still have the same job and I'm doing pretty well in it.

That I'm a functioning human being all throughout high school.

It's biting me in the ass now, though.
