Are The Powers That Be At My School A Pain In My Ass?

Why, yes they are!  Curious?  Well, as many of you know, I had a personal day set up for Friday.  I put in for it on Feb. 4th got it approved the following Monday and put in for a sub.  My sub took it within 5 minutes.  So I get a call from HH's secretary yesterday telling me that he shouldn't have approved it and I need to write a letter to the superintendent requesting permission.  I did this within 15 minutes and emailed said letter off the the super's secretary.  At around 1PM I got an email from the super telling me that "unfortunately" she couldn't approve the day because (the reason for all the stink) according to contract (and she quoted it) a personal day can't be taken before a holiday or vacation.  She failed to include the "in case of emergency" part.  Not that it was an emergency but she COULD have approved it.  And she knew I had out of town plans.  And I told her "if it makes any difference, I'm helping my sister prepare for her first baby."  All that and the heartless bitch still wouldn't give it to me.  I mean, who was going to care, be affected, or even know for that matter?  So, next time this district needs a couple bucks from me to help with a levy campaign?  Uh, yeah - NO!!!  Not only do they spend frivolously but they can't even do me this one solid!  F%*KERS!!!  No one to blame but myself, however, so I can't get too mad. 

By the way, it was so nice in class yesterday without Tazi there!  I had to look at her sourpuss face, however, when I delivered school work to her in the office but I didn't say boo to her and I hope she hated every minute of her time ALONE!  Doubt it.  She's too mean and stubborn to learn anything much less think about changing her evil ways.

Well, that's about all I've got.  All dogs are good here in the household.  Zeke decided he didn't want to sleep upstairs last night.  I guess he needed some alone time.  Apparently Jim got concerned toward morning and at around 4AM, he went down to cover Zekey up.  They're both still snoozing in the family room. 

K - well, I guess I better get going.  Exciting day at the castle.  Later!
