gollark: That mostly doesn't happen to me.
gollark: For all the ridiculous problems of my workflow, I will go to *great* effort to solve a problem without having to go through the hassle and high latency of actually asking people.

gollark: Well, it might be if I go to a university or something with hard time consuming courses. Right now I only do 25 hours a week *at most* of work.
gollark: They even *commend* me for doing my homework *technically* mostly on time, unlike one of my brothers.
