When I need to vent before I kick someone.

I’ve been known to bite, too.

Gotta Love Registration

Yes, you have to fill out the damn paperwork every year.  Because sometimes things change.  Fine, if absolutely nothing has changed, you go ahead and give me a copy of last year’s registration form and just sign and date it again. Hell, no, I won’t go and get it and make a copy for you. […]

The Sign Says…

Doesn’t it make sense that if the business is going to be closed when you return the truck, they should mention that?  Or how about turning the “Open” sign off?  Or posting only one set of hours, or at least making sure the two sets of posted hours agree? Yeah, I’m still ticked.  The truck

NCLB = A Tale Told By an Idiot

You know the end of that, right?  “Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”  Except for the fact  that over-worked, under-funded, highly devoted, under-paid people have to try to fulfill the idiocy.  Or be penalized.  Quoting from this site: Not a single state will have a highly qualified teacher in every core class this school

Censorship?

My Microsoft Encarta COLLEGE THESAURUS does not contain “gay” or “homesexuality.”  Under “sexuality” it has neither homo- or hetero-, so it’s not as bad as it could be, but–excuse me?  Exactly what are we afraid of college students learning from a thesaurus? grrr…
