Aims - right there with you. My boss wants me to keep his calendar, but then accepts some meetings without telling me, not all of them, just some, so I am left wondering to do more or less. And when I tell him he has a meeting in 5 min, he keeps working, then is a little annoyed, when after 8 minutes I ask if he is going to go to the meeting.

It's like a larger more well-adjusted mac.

I just had a flashback to my old, Asshead Boss, who, thankfully, is retired now and not inflicting his assheadedness on any other poor admin out there.

In theory, we are replacing almost all our windows with new Low E windows. So far the report is that nobody has shown up with the new windows yet.

Tonight will be mini-blind restoration night.

I know I'm really lucky in that he's not an asshole who uses their assistants as personal step-and-fetch-it machines. He rarely asks me to do anything. But he's so unused to having an assistant and then his workplace heirarchy issues get tossed in there and it drives me crazy. But if my biggest complaint about him is that he does everything himself, I'm doing ok.

Kat, I've seen it.

I have made Unit Lesson Plan as an example for my students. All I need to do now is make a list of the books I got from the library.

I saw it, Kat. I liked it a lot, but man it's bleak, bleak, bleak.

I was really impressed by 82-year-old Estelle Parsons going up and down all those stairs all night.

In a rarity, and I have to do some work at home because I have a metting tomorrow. Usually it's a struggle to find a meeting room to fit 25 people, but somehow before vacation, I accidentally booked two for the same time.

Aims, I know the first time I had a job where I had a) a person working under me and B) a secretary available to me, I really struggled. I hated asking them to do jobs I myself hated doing, and would often do them myself. At the time, however, I myself had a good boss, who mentored me a bit and helped me to let go of that. But I still often did my photocopying myself.

My mother-in-law, presumably in honor of one of the last days I'll get to sleep in, called before 7AM this morning.

It's interesting that you bring it up because it had been in my mind recently, with the Roman Polanski thing. Not in any way that I can speak intelligently about, but as part of the mix of things in my head.

What part of "Separation of Church and State" don't these people understand? Or to put it more explicitly, what part of "The government can't promote a single religious viewpoint over others" don't they understand?

FIRST ON 3: Religious Sign Banned from LFO High School Game

The chants roared from the crowd of people that came out to show support for LFO cheerleaders. The group gathered after the cheerleaders' signs with religious messages were banned from football games.

Supporter Rod Cochran said, "They are trying to silence God's people and we don't want it that way."

Supporters arrived in large numbers, some with their own signs hoping to take a stand against what organizers call a "cheap shot" at their religious values.

Some say they won't back down until the issue is resolved

Organizer Jeremy jones said, "The cheerleaders should be able to do what they want, they have the freedom to do that, if someone disagrees, we feel it should go to a different level, not just one person or the school superintendent."

Others feel the school superintendent is taking the law into her own hands.

Aleq Boyle said, "We feel like mrs reese stepped out on her own to do this and i feel that she has read the interpretation of the constitution a little wrong."

The cheerleaders revealed their latest sign this almost too big for the group to hold up. One footbal player said he get emotional when he thinks that his team may never again be able to run through the signs with religious messages.

Logan fields said, "I felt angry and I asked myself, why after all this time of doing it has someone said something now?

...

The Catoosa County sent this release to the Eyewitness Newsroom Monday afternoon regarding the religious signs banned from a LFO High School football game:

"Catoosa County Public Schools has determined it is a violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution for signs with Bible verses to be displayed on the football field. Superintendent Denia Reese said, 'I regret that we had to ask the LFO cheerleaders to change the signs used in the stadium prior to football games. Personally, I appreciate this expression of their Christian values; however, as Superintendent I have the responsibility of protecting the school district from legal action by groups who do not support their beliefs.'

"The 1st Amendment to the United States Constitution forbids the enactment of any law or practice 'respecting an establishment of religion.' The purpose of the Bill of Rights was to protect the rights of the minority; for this reason, the stamp of approval of religion by the government is not a matter subject to majority vote.

And yet people are like, "Us poor Christians are being oppressed! You're not letting us inflict our majority view on the minority!"
