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.)
used to go from NYC to SC to see my folks . 18 hours ( same as car basically) Not late and before cell phone towers were everywhere. DH was in vacation mode by the time we got there. We usually got a room - on special pay a fair for on e - and a 2nd person came free - so it was cheaper than flying.
and that seems wrong Kat- I mean unlawful.
Yeah. Except I think there was probably a clause in there about termination of the contract by convenience.
The principals don't know yet. I'm supposed to tell my principal tomorrow.
It fucks me up short term, but I was planning on going back to the classroom in the fall anyhow. I'm on loan to my employer, but still an employee of the district. It fucks up the teachers who resigned more.
Damn, Kat. That seems wrong. You've agreed to a contract; it seems weird they can terminate at any time.
Can someone explain this Harry Potter Lexicon thing to me? From the JKR standpoint looks like:
From my understanding, as the copyright owner, she has first right to make money off the subsidiary works. They are making subsidiary works without her permission, and therefore she can't make money off a lexicon. I thought they had a dictionary of HP. I haven't researched it or anything, but seems like she's in the right on this one, just as if I'd tried to publish a lexicon of Vampire People. That's your right to do.
