Had some county level bosses in our school this week. Have to admit... these people are just fucking useless.

Why the hell do you people pay them! With all the crap the pull and everything they mess up you should be billing them!

Well, let me ask you this? Is your Ethernet cord connected to the right port, and if you don't have a red port, then you aren't part of Skynet and you know nothing about it... Otherwise, only plug it into the red port, otherwise Skynet will not verify, if it is plugged into the red one, then make sure you renew your IP address continually for the next 30 seconds, once that is done be sure that your not blocking skynet as a process. If that doesn't work you probably aren't authorized, in which case... Nevermind everything I just said.

It happens like this: they start out as teachers, but are so horrible at it that they get put into programs like intervention or parent-school coordinator or something so they can't do any more damage in the classroom. Then they go back to school long enough to get a supervisor certification, but they can't be principals because they're so useless as educators. Finally, they get put into district or county positions so the superintendents and boards can just get them out of the way.

Not quite Trek '09, but...

EDIT: And more sci-fi, on a somewhat larger scale
Peanuts. I couldn't find a vid of the field show but in 1993, the Denver-based DCA corps Blue Knights did a program comprising "Battle in the Mutara Nebula (from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn) / Clear All Moorings (From Star Trek VI) / Star Trek VI Suite / Little Green Men."
Damn. I wish I had the talent for any drum corps. .. DCA or DCI. I know I'm going to miss my chance to march DCI (i will not have the funds before I'd age out) so I'm hoping one day to maybe march DCA.

Bucs are pretty close to you, right? They've come light-years from where they were in the early '90's.

Well, today is my last work day before starting vacation! Haven't had a chance to kick back and smell the proverbial roses since last year. Was planning on going back to Vegas to see my mom and sisters, but the funds just aren't available next year.

Hopefully I'll get to use my other weeks' vacation to come and have a mainland adventure. :happydevil:

I've started writing a story. I posted what I have done in the Writer's Forum.
“You cannot play God then wash your hands of the things that you've created. Sooner or later, the day comes when you can't hide from the things that you've done anymore.”

And then Buffy staked Edward. The End.

My uncle is still an as$hole. He calls me today yelling because I gave Uzume some old wrenches, files and bits for an end-mill from the garage in the old house. He has wrenches. He has files. He doesn't own an end-mill. I told him I failed to see the issue with giving her stuff we don't need.

His reply: It's all his decision.

One of these days, his attitude is going to get him severely clobbered.
