From my Facebook news feed:
________ took the What Does Jesus Think of You? quiz and the result is Jesus thinks you're a selfish bitch.
This was seriously the funniest thing I have read in a long time, and I have been grading a lot of papers lately.
From an email posted by our principal today:
If you have ever wondered where our Federal dollars go here's one for the books.
Today I had a federal investigator from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Enforcement Bureau, Los Angeles Field Office, come to my office. A student filed an official complaint that Foothill HS has an illegal "jammer" in the 700 wing of the school. The investigator didn't find one on today but is keeping the case open and will be checking again. Believe it or not the student had in his complaint that he can't use his cell phone during tests because this is when the blocker is on.
Bonus points for whoever finds the rhetorical strategy going on here. Do come up with something a little more fancy-pants than "double entendre."
Gak. And I actually liked tea, too. And coherent rhetorical techniques. (Did you know, for example, that "halle-fuckin'-lujah" is an example of tmesis? This really is the coolest website ever. Even the Venerable Bede does tmesis.)
In other news:
Today is the last day for U of A to accept applications for their fall cohort (that's graduate school for "class"). They only accept 40 students into the program each year, and they'll start picking in the next week or so.
I did my taxes in February.
I definitely did not get one job at a school just outside Missoula. No word yet on jobs I did get. Phone interview with Idaho Falls went well, I think. Fifteen people applied for the high school job in Troy (pop=1200).
My bosses will not fill my job here until I have a contract elsewhere, even though it may mean not having a choice who takes the job during the "involuntary transfer" period.
When we drove through Idaho Falls last Thursday, I saw 5 beavers sitting on the shoulder of the interstate.
I thought maybe I could live in Salt Lake, but it took an hour and a half to drive through the whole thing.
Montana is a very progressive state. It has a "banana belt."
The kittens are almost 9 weeks old and are able to get into all kinds of trouble.
Tyson's x-rays revealed a hairline fracture in his ankle, but he won't be able to see his written report for another 5 days because that's "standard procedure," even though they faxed it immediately to his doctor.
We are hoping to have a massive garage sale and get rid of about half of our stuff, Montana or no. Anyone interested in a good deal on an old leather couch? I hope we do not have to sell the fixtures and appliances in the back house.
