Math...

I have decided that nothing on this earth will ever make me care about mathamatics. It is almost sad because my family on both sides have found sucessful employment through an understanding and implimintation of this understanding in mathamatics. I just don't care. If a worker makes a basket every 2/3 hours, why the fuck should I care how many he is going to make in 7 1/2 hours? I mean seriously, what sort of lazy fuck takes 2/3 of an hour to make a stupid basket? What is he doing, making it by hand? What sort of third world village does he live in? I tell you what, if he were my worker i would kick his ass and threaten to murder his family if he didn't speed up the production process. Unfortunitly my creative managment skills are not allowed, or taken into account, on most standerdized tests. They want me to use the information given rather than create new information. Or alter exsisting information. Now I grant you that some of these problems are good. Like how much interest will $10,000 earn in 9 months at an annual rate of 6%. But personally, I would rather use a calculator then rely on my sketchy figuring. I mean if I were to get this wrong I could really screw up my savings plans. And further more, what the fuck am I paying my accountant for if I can do all of this crap myself? Or my financial manager? Seriously, I don't want these nice folks to go out of business. I mean I fully intend to hire them some day, and I want THEM to be good at math, because I am not. Which brings me to the only semi mathamatical question I am interested in here, and that is, "is it possible to score in the negative on the GRE?"
