You took 'em all.

I didn't take a class that had been wiped off the curriculum, and so most of the students had taken that class.

I took the same class to replace it.

Two weeks before walking, they're like, "Nah, you're not gonna graduate," so I had to go back to school for a whole other semester to take three credit hours, which is what led me to apply for second shift jobs.
4:56
I ha- I was like, "I'm done.
4:57
I, I need to get out of college." I don't mind living in Oxford, living the college lifestyle.

It has to do the things to make the end state, right? We really see it move into, like, transportation management automation or enterprise resource automation, where the system now becomes exception management only.

27:31

'Cause before we had SaaS, think about [laughs] how bad life was, right?
