Open Bar: Subpoenaed by Congress, but still refusing to testify

[Juana]

I went to a job expo thing for my district last week and got called this afternoon by HR, asking anything my credential status (I just need a job offer and I'll have an intern credential). Got an email about an hour ago inviting me to apply. 

wooooooooo!

I'm pretty excited, though a little concerned I'll get offers at schools I avoid as a sub. One of my old professors who was not, technically, a direct supervisor (which is what they want) but directly say the impact I had on his abysmal pass rate when I was a tutor for him, has agreed to submit again for me. His letter got me the sub job I have now.

[Trivial]

Friend of mine works some sort of helpdesk for DMV software or something of that nature, I know it involves license plates and background checks and lots of idiots.  Somehow their email helpdesk@whatever.whatever got listed as the state help desk.

So naturally people are emailing it to try to stop some sort of chicken tossing event that is occuring in a small town.  Because you email a helpdesk instead of a state representative or mayor or whatever to get things done.

[Juana]

Oh, FFS. I was looking at what the district wants me to do on the application and they want me to take the Gallup teacher insight survey, which is like low key a personality test that looks for "naturally talented teachers", as if the very concept were not horseshit bc teaching is an art. I'm gonna ask the principal at the school I'm at today, who really wants to hire me, what percentage of the top scorers they take for second interviews. I hate jumping through hoops.

Then civil service was a good choice.

I'm sure there's licenses to get for that, too.

[Pergamos]

I didn't have to jump through hoops.  I work at a vineyard.   Mind you, I make very little money, but I have very little hassle.

[Juana]

I didn't have to jump through them for hiring either when I started subbing, either, but now even to do THAT in my district, you have to take that horseshit test. Sitting here laughing tho bc the kids get the growth mindset spiel but the district is out here looking for "naturally talented" teachers.

Fuck that guy.

[Cain]

Yeah. I mean, is it really speaking ill of the dead if you're willing to say they're a shitbag when they're alive also?

[Doktor Howl]

Yeah. I mean, is it really speaking ill of the dead if you're willing to say they're a shitbag when they're alive also?

Naw.  If I hate the bastard now, I don't see the need to get all weepy when he croaks.

[Juana]

Three cheers for comrade lung cancer!

[Doktor Howl]

I keep telling you guys that 21st century is bad news.

You should really come back to 1979.
