It is a direct result of today's parents! Remember, every kid deserves a trophy too A great new book title would be "The pussification of a nation"
Truth- the schools in this city NEVER closed for school when I was a student! Our school calendars are now created with two extra days built in for snow days. My view has become, if they are going to make the calendar that way, we might as well use the days.
That's a great book title. I may have to use that. Don't worry...I'll give you credit.
Even when I was in school 10-15 years ago in the suburbs, we wouldn't get snow days for this shit. What a bunch of pussies!
Teachers have the best snow days. They can't really do any work. What are they going to do? Invite the kids over to the house for class.
Technology is ruining snow days for everyone else. With laptops, the internet, iphones, Blackberries, etc I would still need to work from home even if the office was closed.
When we had the blizzard a couple years ago, I spent the day on conference calls and e-mail. Couldn't even take a nap or watch a Law & Order marathon.

Total fact. Everyone is emailing everyone today, and it's getting ridiculous. Can't I have just another 30 minutes to finish my book?!

Technology has ruined it for the teachers too. I've spent the morning writing IEPs, billing for Medicaid, looking up my students current grades and making "missing work" lists for them to do, answering emails, responding to a state DPI mandatory survey on alternate assessments given this year. Snow days have become "catch up on paperwork" days.

They're ruining sick days too. My boss looooves to call and email me when I'm sick. And actually sick. Oh! Also when I'm on vacation. In fact, I was told by my executive director that Sunday nights should be awful for me and that I should have a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach because I have to work the next day. Also. That I should be available to him at all times, 24-7 no matter what.
God I hope I get this job :fp:

I was on the beach in Mexico once, and my boss called looking for a 12 character password for one of our systems.. I have no idea how I recited it from memory. Perhaps I am an alcohol savant.

Alcohol savant, I'm going to use that! Not about me of course, because that would just not be true.
Thanks :-D

Yes, I'm not sure you are membership material for the Alcohol Savant Society.
I'm hoping for a snow day tomorrow...or at least bad enough that I can work from home.
Of course there's certain aspects of my work that I'd rather not bring home....
