Wasn't that a homeopathy reference?

@chopper3 Sorry to hear the news. The prognosis is good, though, isn't it?

"vinnessa"

Creative? You might like outrightly wrong spelling?

/ahem...

HAHAHA!

@tombull89 Yeah, they hate it when you tell them "tough crap."

Along with a bank account number.

Send the card to me.

PROVE IT.

@OliverSalzburg There really are better things to spend time thinking about... :-)

@JeffFerland I can empty my own trash can but the school had custodians do it once a week or so...

That's not good. Are your clients technologically impaired?

Emails are usually based on your username...

Wha?

It's not like it's something to really debate over normally.

Ah. Then...*shrug* whatever works for the clients.

They have to type this stuff in all the time...

Why would you have titles in the username?

I've never had a dupe of mine...

You wouldn't want Fenton Arting to have an initial-lastname username.

Whatever makes the most sense for your client to easily use without forming embarrassing usernames I'd suppose, as long as they're consistent.

@OliverSalzburg Um...not that I'm aware.

If you have the budget for it it can be.

@Adrian Late to party, but map drives for users.

@voretaq7 I was told you can't have the minutes until they're accepted into the record the following meeting.

Apparently I can't get them until next month at the earliest.

If I could ever GET the board minutes I might find out.

But it's an insult added to injury to have sub-standard pay, then be told they were capping it when your retirement relies on your highest payment point in your career.

"technically"

But then again, neither was my position.

Administrators weren't in support staff contracts or teacher contracts...

I don't know, actually, how high up the ladder it went.

I heard they actually passed a vote on it in the board meeting that all non-teachers (they're already capped by the step system) were getting caps on potential salary and wages.

Pay cap as in salary caps.

Nope.

Pay cap with rumor of 0% pay increase coming.

They eventually passed a pay cap too...happened just as I left.

That's why I didn't really make sense of business casual dress code.

We did.

I wasn't going to haul equipment around schools where kids wipe boogers on chairs in a $200 outfit while making half industry pay.

Sneakers.

I usually wore a polo shirt.

The school would have preferred button-ups and dockers or something like that with the occasional tie.

Although here I can wear T-shirts, I suppose.

Perhaps "nice" is relative. I didn't wear t-shirts, but I don't see a need to wear something worth the cost of a motorcycle unless I get paid six figures.

Doctor's I've had to deal with have trouble remembering my face because they can't see through their noses.

@MDMarra Gee, sounds like...fun...

So you have to compete with people who dress in paper and scrubs?

@MDMarra Where do you work at (field/etc.) now?
