Maybe you shoudl just post the whole episode? Actually, I'd use pretty much the words you've given. . I got to get my shit together = get organised . I almost got caught today = I almost got caught today - that's it, sorry, didn't get caught, a small change would have meant that he/she got caught, was found out. almost caught (catch, past tense) . These

things are truely anoying. . I've got to stop getting stones = probably supposed to be I've got to stop getting stoned - I must stop taking drugs - smoking pot . I've got to get my act together = I must get organised . You can burn bud and still be a success - no clue. "bud" = some drug? you smoke and still be a success - that's it. . You sell pot for a living =- you earn money buy selling pot, MJ, weed. . Still saps the motivation = still makes you demotivated, tired, not enthusiastic . You want in = you want to be involved, included . Your offer before i got caught = fragment - needs more context, . I take on real software projects = I am involved in, in a leadership role, software projects. . And i hand them identical briefcases = and = and, I = I, hand them = give them, by hand, identiocal = the same, briefcases = formal box-like bags for books and such . Vacuum-sealed bud = plastic ontainer with air removed, containing "bud"? weed? . Hide in plain sight = idom, for similar to standing in a crowd and not being noticed. .
