We pay for this?

Posted: Thursday, April 23, 2009

Has anyone noticed that watching a program on digital TV is like watching an old Kung Fu movie? The lips do not move with the audio! This is progress? We pay for this?

What's more important?

A lot of people voted against the last school referendum because of the money spent on Forestview palace. If the school board forces a levy on the taxpayers for teacher retirement benefits more people will probably vote against future referendums. What's more important - the teachers or the students?

Stop complaining

This is for the teacher who complained about their job. I have a job. I own a business and you know what? I take care of rude customers every day, customers that won't listen, customers that should come in with better manners too. I work 2,080 hours a year. I don't work nine months a year and have 14 personal days and two weeks off at Christmas and have a spring vacation. I would stop complaining if I were you.
