JetA,

So you had poor career choices. Ok, I get that.
I am curious about your whole decision to no-show the class.
Basically you are taking the job from somebody who needs it. You might even be taking it from another furloughed guy who really needs it. GJ may think twice about hiring another furloughed guy. So the only person you screwed was the next guy who needed a job.

Not sure why you are "sticking it" to them? Did they somehow cause you to have a bad career?
