Things and stuff

[mynamesnotjonas]

i've been typing emails and proper rubrics and all kinds of crap where i have to capitalize all the time and it's hard to break the habit when i'm typing emails to my friends or stuff like livejournal posts. one small annoyance about working in an environment that demands proper computer etiquette and stuff

yeah that's fine with me.

it wasn't a mistake, it was totally on purpose. in order to fire a teacher, a school district has to give 45 days prior notice. all of us "alternatively certified" teachers have to do a series of things by the last day of our contract in order to be picked up for the following year. so they just fired all of us in case some of us don't do those things and have to be let go. if we do all those things we will become "unfired" and everything will be fine. but for those who don't do all those things, the firing sticks, like it should.

the problem was that none of this was explained in the letter. the letter just bascially said "you're fired and there can be no appeal (which it turns out isn't true either)." basically the fwisd legal department are a bunch of heartless robots who don't understand human emotions apparently.

here's a letter from the superintendent explaining it a little better if you care to read more district-ese: http://fwisd.org/comm/media/

"maybe if it's nice this weekend lacey and i will go to the mclean baseball field and hit some balls around. maybe we'll play some baseball too! (too obvious?)"

I didn't understand this, don't you need at least 18 people to play baseball?

I was trying to make a joke where I implied that it would require 16 additional people for them to have sex.

actually it usually does.
