One could attribute that foible to me being bad at math.......which I
The thing with math and me: I always got the concept of the subject..........after the test.
It was a cycle I had, and one in which I had an extremely hard time breaking. Looking back on it all, I suppose it was possible I had ADD or some such leaning disability. Tutors never seemed to help.
Anyhoooo........I always found it quite comical that I'm now in charge of tens of millions of dollars in budgets and that I base most of my day on certain statistics, in reports that I run, analyze and from which I base future growth and strategy.
Not only do I no longer have an aversion to mathematics and stats, but fully embrace it. And more importantly, I understand it.
The people at Time, seem to be me.........back in Mount Hall.....in 1981. They don't grab the concept of percentages............or the word 'almost'.
Don't worry Time-folks. I eventually got it. You will too.

da fuq? I'm bad at math too, but WOW!
It appears I'm either part of the almost half or part of the 7.3%. So confusing!
