They do have a lot of days off. Because we use a year-round school year, the summer is only 7 weeks, but there are two week intersessions all year long.

There are also "teacher work days" that the kids stay home for, too. In fact, they're going on break from 9/22-10/9 here shortly. I like it because I was able to get their dentist appointment in without making him miss a day of school, but still.

Congrats Brat on the promotion! Does this mean you can boss people around now.


Yesterday, I got to see some Amish at an Amish cheese festival. My 6 year old nephew couldn't get over the fact the the Amish don't have TVs. He just couldn't understand why anybody would want to live without electricity.

Thanks. And yes, somewhat. Although my boss still has more authority than I do over stuff in my department, she trusts my judgment, and the fact that I don't go to her about every little tiny thing.

A couple of people started kissing up on Saturday, and I'll have to squash that. It's annoying.
 
but flattery gets them everywhere...

shit, when i was in school, didn't have shit for days off. we even had days planned during summer to extend school if the snowfall was too much to keep people from getting to school. well, not the snow, but the ice. course, we didn't have days cancelled usually. had to walk up hill both ways, 3 miles, barefoot...
 
Hey, I want to download the new Haunted album but I have no idea on how to convert it into a playable file. Yes, I know.....downloading is illegal blah blah...I will buy the album.....I just want to hear it now and not have to wait...as you can tell I don't normally download stuff so this is just a one time thing. If any of you could help it would be greatly appreciated.
 
Okay, now I'm really pissed. My husband I were talking last night about how Joey got hurt at school, and I know I signed a form stating that I wanted to be called if anything happened. So he said he was going to go talk to the gym teacher today when he picked him up, but when I dropped him off, I wanted to get a copy of that paper so he could have it with him.

They make me wait forever before telling me that they don't have it. It was in a stack of papers that I gave to his teacher. I know I signed it and gave it back. Did his teacher lose it or did the office lose it?

And THEN, the nurse says that he never went in there that day. I said, where else would he get an ice pack? She said she doesn't know. His teacher said he had an ice pack from the nurse's office, and he does too. His lip was still bleeding when I saw him at 6 o'clock that night. And if anyone wants to argue with me on what it looked like, I'll be more than happy to share some of his school pictures with them.

The principal is off today, so I left a message for his teacher, no idea when she'll get it and I guess I have to call the superintendent (again) now and find out what the hell kind of schools he's running. So much for my morning nap, I'm too pissed to sleep right now.

And MyHatred - I got so tired of getting viruses, worms and Trojan horses from downloading stuff that I don't do it anymore. I haven't done it in years and I'm sure they've changed a bunch of crap since then. Sorry.
 
And it pisses me off, because I was only downloading stuff I had either already bought and lost, or bootleg rare stuff that you can't buy anywhere anyway. I wasn't ripping anyone off. And yet, my best friend hasn't bought a CD in years because she just downloads it anywhere for free, and hasn't had a single thing happen to her computer, except for having to buy a new hard drive because hers was too full! Isn't that always the way?
 
Yep, I was the same way. I only downloaded unreleased stuff. I had a collection of 1,500-2,000 songs that I downloaded on 56K and my dad erased them all without saying a thing to me. That collection that I had took me forever and a day to get. I was so mad that I haven't downloaded anything since. I am going to run down to MSU on my lunch hour to see if I can convert the files into MP3 's. My work blocks the site so that is why I was asking if anyone could do it.
 
I download movies that I intend to buy when they come out on DVD. Disney can sue me for downloading Cars if they want to, but Antonio wants to watch it 3 times per day, and it's led to hundreds of dollars in Disney's pocket from Cars toys, pajamas, bed sheets, remote control cars, etc, (and eventually the real DVD when it comes out) that he never would have wanted had we not downloaded the movie for him.

Antonio's birthday is less than a month away. Just spent another $200 on anything that had to do with Cars, including party invitations and a ordering a cake with Lightening McQueen on it.

My store sells those cakes. But they discontinued the Mater kits. He didn't sell nearly as many. Just to the whacko fanatic parents who bought one small cake of each, because they couldn't pick one or the other.
