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

[Faust]

guns don't kill people, medieval artillery kills people

[Juana]

Jesus fucking Christ. I don't mind taking a regular special ed class but they don't train us for special ed at all and the job posting last night just said "special ed k-12" instead of what it SHOULD have said, which is moderate to severe. I should get fucking hazard pay bc one of them hit me and I did NOT sign up for this.

[altered]

Um.

Wow.

This is so American it makes my teeth itch.

I have to just rephrase this because it's so fucking absurd.

A man is trying to barricade himself in his apartment because of a dog attack. A neighbor enters the apartment, goes "that's a dog attack alright", then goes to get his trusty FUCKING crossbow. He shoots a dog with his FUCKING CROSSBOW ARE YOU SHITTING ME and the bolt penetrates the dog and kills the dude who was trying to create a barricade against the dogs. Cops show up, and kill the dogs. Crossbow man realizes the person he was trying to help is dead and he killed the poor bastard.

What's so weird about that?  I have a crossbow on my desk right now.  Not even kidding.

And I am trying to arrange pit bulls to be outside the door of the bastard in the next office.

On the upside, I'm now in the candidate pool for a full social science teaching position for my district.

Hoping you have good Fortune!

I'm not banned on facebook at the moment, but I can't reply to any of my own threads, because the fucking thing goes tits-up.

Yeah, I remember when I was on jobseekers allowance, and I was being questioned by one of the department as to why I didn't apply for a specific job which I was otherwise qualified for.

I pointed out it was with autistic children and required previous experience (which I did not have) and he was immediately like "absolutely justified, not a problem". People who work with kids with severe special needs are great, but it's not an expectation you can just lay on everyone, and especially not without warning them beforehand.

Seriously. Some of them were non verbal and autistic, prone to grabbing and scratching and I walked into this blind. Like, we managed totally okay the last two periods of the day but I do not have the patience to do that shit very often.

...

One of the dogs belonged to the man who died, she said. The other belonged to his girlfriend, who also lived in the home.

"My friends pets were fighting amongst themselves like they do all week, so I got them all killed - finally some peace and quiet."

Hoping you have good Fortune!

Thank you! I'm pretty sure the principal who wrote one of my letters of support will hire me if she can bc she's straight up said, "I want you to work for me." I'm on pretty good terms with several other middle school principals and that's most likely where I'll start.

yikes -- you gotta be CAREFUL

my buddy teaches high-school special ed.. specificially teaches kids who were removed from public school for behavioral issues. He's always got bruises and bite marks. At his last job, the "straw that broke the camel's back" was having a rib broken by a student that threw him against a wall. And the principal wouldn't back up the teachers. So my friend ragequit that job, but not because of the kids -- because of the administration not taking his reccomendations seriously, even after he was hospitalized.

Holy fuck. There are some admin who shouldn't be left in charge of a houseplant but you'd think a kid putting one of the teachers in the hospital would be a wake up call.

I was corrected and it was a mild group, but one of them tried to get bitey with the other sub bc he's had negative behavior reenforcement. We do not get paid enough for that shit.

So pretty much I feel like everyone was at fault in this situation, except the poor dogs.

Life is tough on dogs.

In the very best life they can enjoy, they get their balls chopped off.

Think about that for a second.
