Irony. Oh, sweet, sweet irony.
In my paper today, there was a meeting last night to tell the School Board why certain people shouldn't lose their jobs because of the massive budget cuts.

One woman interviewed indicated that as a school secretary she was essentially 'cream of the crop' in helpfulness.

Ironic part is that she was without a doubt, the worst employee OUR elementary school ever had. Here's an example. I purchased an incubator for the first grade team to use several years back, approximately $75. I drove up to deliver it, parked in the visitor's spot and brought it in. In the pouring rain, mind you.

Said secretary blocked me in because 'I work here and I should have the spot closest to the front, not you'. :wtf:

Needless to say, the repair of the asshole I tore her was quite expensive.

8. Sorry to hear that you've got people troubles.
People are the kwaziest peoples. You, on the other hand, are A-Okay.

6. Was that the person who kicked you out for bringing the kids Taco Bell?

16. That was the Bald Douchebag at the Middle School
Who didn't realize that the paper received a direct feed from the police station about infractions in the area and that yes, douchebag, the parents would discover that there had been a bomb threat.

I swear. You cannot make this up. The levels of incompetence are staggering. I can't imagine how these people manage to stay employed.

7. In my experience, irony is rarely sweet.
It's usually bitter, with little character and a flat finish...

13. That's right.
Midlo obviously has become the target for assholes of all sorts. Let this be a lesson to her that she needs to work more on "refusing to be a victim" and projecting dominance to those around her.

11. Write a LTTE in which you denounce the secretary and chastise the newspaper for not researching...
her claim. See if you can get her fired.

12. Ha. I already contacted them about the Superintendent's
raise. Apparently he thinks it is 'yesterday's news'.

We, the parents, faced with incredible cuts in the system, don't feel that way.

19. I've charted a sharp rise in your anger level, Midlo.
Try to chill out. Anger is bad for you.
