(That said, I do prefer the train to flying if I'm just going to Boston or DC because even though it's more expensive, I save on taxi fare so it evens out. And the trip itself is just so much more pleasant.
Yes, this. Given travel time and security time, the trip length evens out, and there's lots more room, wireless access, and better view.
Can someone explain this Harry Potter Lexicon thing to me? From the JKR standpoint looks like:
Lexicon = entirety of all Harry Potter Books in alphabetical order
Is this what it is, or is it like, a lexicon. You know, a lexicon?
So, as of May 21, my contract to work as a coach is terminated. Mine and the other 30 employed by my employer. Apparently the school district took the old contract (which ended June 30), crossed out the end date and wrote in May 21.
Crap, Kat. That just sucks in so many ways. I'm really sorry.
So, given the state of Amtrak in the Northeast, that's roughly equivalent to saying you have a very good chance of your train arriving on it's scheduled day.
I've taken Amtrak up and down the East coast (well, between DC and NYC) at least four or five times a year for the past five years, and only once been more than half an hour late. It's gotten a whole lot better since they switched to all reserved trains. (Not assigned seating, but they'll only sell as many tickets as they have seats. They used to sell "unreserved" tickets, which pretty much meant they'd throw on as many people as they could, and good luck getting a seat, but since they stopped that, the service has improved a lot.)
(((kat))) what the hell?
Also does revising a contract like that even hold up?
Shit, Kat. You and my mom are living parallel lives. You are still in district right, and just have to find another opening once they are posted? Shit.
LAUSD is really fucking up.
Apparently the school district took the old contract (which ended June 30), crossed out the end date and wrote in May 21.
That shit doesn't seem right!
It really doesn't. Fuckwads.
(My mom's principal traded the 2 or 3 PDTs for keeping the ass't principal because the school is under 250 or something. And didn't tell the PDTs. They found out through the rumor mill and had to seek the principal out for confirmation, which was nervously given.)
