'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, it's the center quickedit, isn't it? I kept wondering why people were putting Parker to the right in their posts.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Stories? Video? I am so clueless when it comes to stuff that's not on my TV screen.

Erm. Well, here's the hoodsurfing video. [link] As for the stories, they were of the he's-skeevy-but-considering-source-takeit-witha-grainof-salt type. YtoleranceforhijinksMV

Rent Love and Basketball. It's a beautiful love story. She's also hot in Something New. And The Best Man is just a parade of hot men and women. Jaysus.

The Losers is perfectly acceptable summer popcorn explosion porn, with a smattering of acceptably funny quips and [spoiler] JDM making out with Zoe Saldana [spoiler].

Everything I ever wrote for my employers, including magazine articles, newsletters, communications plans and web copy, was their property. Almost all my freelance work is work for hire.

The status is NOT quo.

MFN, It's entirely possible that they have snuck a line about that in there somewhere (it's massively long), but since we can't be employed without signing it, I don't see how that leaves any of us an option.

I am seriously thinking about not using this laptop any longer and never backing up to the server. This is my life's work. Most of what I have in my files was created over the course of 14 years in this career and has grown and evolved as a piece of my practice. I refuse to just hand it over to a school who wouldn't know what to do with it in the first place. I will gladly share with anyone who wants to use it, but I still own it.

Kristin, check your contract for the phrase "work product".

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The hoodsurfing video makes me laugh. Man's crazy.

msbelle! I'm shocked and clutching my pearls at you! (go girl!)

Teaching is collaborative, and it is not meant to be a competition.

My job isn't a competition either. It's just that while I'm working for this employer, my work product is theirs, period. But that's in what I signed when I worked here, and that's how I know. Which is why I'm shocked and pissed when prospective employers demand examples of previous work. Blanked out stuff, sure. But actual work product? That's skeevy!

The status is NOT quo.

I think it's significantly different than IT or written work, honestly. If I'd written articles or developed a program here for the school, I'd expect it to be their property. But my own lessons? My own assignments? Thigns I've developed for more than ten years? No fucking way.

Weeeeeell, it depends. Essentially, you have to determine if the material is what is known as "work for hire". I would think that, traditionally, materials created by teachers belong to them, not the school.
