That's terrific, Connie!
Sparky, that principal is an idiot, and shouldn't be in charge of a cage of weasles, much less a building full of children.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

That's great news, Connie.
I hate the "boys will be boys" rationale. It's fuzzy-minded liberal thinking like that that gets you eaten.
vw, the last company I worked for was full of very bright engineers, and when I got copy from them electronically I discovered that more than one of them was putting hard returns at the end of every line.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Sparky, your sister has already spoken to the police and a lawyer, right?
I don't think I'd talk to anyone else at all. Also, Dear Abby says not to talk to the family of the people you've wronged because they'll just hate you more and you won't help yourself, so maybe the family has been reading Dear Abby.
he's doing it on the defensive, so he may come back tougher.
I'm going to swim against the tide with this one and say he's being honest, and though it sucks to hear, it's human nature and he was being upfront about it. I'm sure there are people who wouldn't be defensive in such a situation, but I don't think that's the norm.

Argh, I shouted yay in my head!
Glad to hear it was less problematic than they thought, Connie. Next to no recovery time is a good thing to hear.

Ginger, oy. That's all I've got.
Deena, yeah, at least he's being honest. Should be interesting to see what comes back...

Sparky, your sister has already spoken to the police and a lawyer, right?
Yup, they filed a police report on my recommendation. I'm a lawyer, and they've spoken to me. They're asking for friends to recommend a real lawyer to them.
I understand that the family might not want to talk to my sister, et. al., and pointed out to Gail that they may be lawyers or have one advising them not to do so. Still, it sucks.

I always forget you're a lawyer, silly of me.
Btw, we received 3 boxes yesterday, a smallish one and two HUGE ones. Each of the huge ones had only one smallish thing in it, which made me laugh and laugh.

I think we have more lawyers than any other profession.
Teaching a very close second.
I think.
