It started yesterday with a phone call from an irate parent. Which could have been defused with a little tact...but the stupid bitch they hired as manager, told the woman that her daughter was a liar... So then things got all blown up... Then the stupid bitch blamed a coworker, and threw her under the bus, she then called our boss over her, and told a bunch of lies to cover her( stupid bitch) ass. She got the vice principle involved... And then drug us all into it. She stupid bitch, told us that our Principle and Vice principle told her that they had nothing but issues with us before stupid bitch came..( then why were they upset when I told them I didn't get the job? ) and told me so. And why did they always tell us how awesome we were with the staff and kids? So I told stupid bitch that, and that we all wanted a meeting with her so we could ask her if that was true.... Well after work, the stupid bitch went to the district and told our director more lies... And now they want a meeting with, my coworker, the stupid bitch, principal, vice principle and our director. My coworker thinks they are going to transfer her to the high school from hell, that They sent me to work at the end of the school year. And to top it off, I found a dried dragon fly at the bottom of my ready PAC salad I got on the way to work...

Good Morning to Everyone.
Blondie, love the picture. I think I might try that with my daughter and family. See if I can get them to do it. That would be a great keep sake.
MomP, I am glad you found a doctor that put his foot down. With someone that is dealing with leg stuff, it is good to get it fixed right away. Sorry she has to go through that thou.

Morning everyone. I haven't posted in awhile, but read the post every day. Done happy dances, and said prayers for everyone. I am leaving in the morning to go to Bethesda and bring Lindsay home for medical leave. She is having surgery on her hip. Finally found a Doc who put his foot down and told her she is having it done, and done now. He agreed to let her come home, only because we are 30 minutes for U of M hospital if anything goes wrong.
