[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Congrats, Betsy!

Fay, I have no helpful advice. I think that looks like a good letter, and I'm angry that you're stuck in an aggrevating situation.

I've skippity-skipped, but has Jilli seen this?

ooooh, batty tiara. Waaaaant.

I'm having a meh day. I am trying to inform the Body Image Demons that I AM NOT LISTENING TO THEM, LA LA LA LA, and am instead trying to concentrate on the very cool concert I'm going to tonight. This plan is not working as well as I'd like, but I'll take what I can get right now.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Yay, Betsy! Congrats on the new job!

Rather than leave immediately, however, I have stayed at school long enough to level the children’s work and write their reports. I have also written the planning for the rest of this term and for next year.

Fay, you're a lot nicer than I am. I'd just tell them to stuff it if they didn't pay me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

What a horrible situation, Fay. It seems like the best possible outcome at this point is that the parents become aware of the shit he's pulling but the kids still get taught. Somehow. Maybe your letter can help with that, I don't know.

My favorite part of the letter, Fay.

It would be even better if the parents and the staff got their letters just ever so slightly before he got his...

Woohoo, Betsy!

I think it's a good letter, Fay.

We do not hear him knocking, ma'am.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

At this point, if he knocks he's likely to get shot in the head.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

See, it's the parents and staff part that kind of worries me. My experience has been that it's never a good idea to burn bridges and that would be blowing up the bridge with a tactical nuke. The question is, will they remember you as a person who was wronged or as a person who will send letters about her boss to the known world? Sending it to the parents and staff seems likely to force him to defend his position, no matter how irrational it is, and incline him towards defamation of character lawsuits.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Maybe instead of scorched earth, are there a couple of staff memebers and/or parents that know the situation that would "happen to know about the letter" and be very supportive of you?
