Kristin, check your contract for the phrase "work product".
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The hoodsurfing video makes me laugh. Man's crazy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

It's actually impressive, having seen the pertinent Mythbusters episode.

I haven't seen that Mythbusters episode. Do tell.

I didn't listen to the audio of the CK hoodsurfing video, but him hoodsurfing? He's the doof that removed 17 stitches himself a week or so after getting them put in his face. I'm not slightly surprised. Unless he was spouting racist or sexist stuff while he was doing it, it doesn't significantly change my opinion of his persona.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, it's the center quickedit, isn't it? I kept wondering why people were putting Parker to the right in their posts.
Me too! How did this never come up before?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I just thought they were very afraid of what Parker would do after they chucked her.
