the victory is already the Lord's. the committee upstairs can stick it where the sun don't shine.

that being said ... funny school incident to share so i'm not a downer all the time.

we had 8th grade parent night last night. aka, the dog and pony show. there are some TINY eighth graders out there. i hope they grow this summer. they made like a staff yearbook with biographies of everyone to hand out to the parents. later on in the evening, schlaak's comes to chat with meghan, and allie, and i, and says "hey, check out the handbook." on the very last page with all the administrators, the bottom fourth of the page has been cut out. it was mazz, the dean. we stare at him quizzically, to which he replies "lemme tell ya. i didn't catch the mistake until 6 and then i was cuttin' like a crazy person." when queried as to the nature of the mistake, he just shakes his head and says "ask mazz. i gotta tell ya though, sometimes this job sure is funny."

interest piqued, we triple team mazz later on and ask him what happened. he scowls (as only old swarthy italian men can) and says "stupid sabrina (events coordinator). it's her fault for not proofreading the handbook." don and yvonne (principal, ap) are like "stupid you, man! why would you write something like that?" (that's a paraphrase. i can't actually imagine yvonne talking like that.)

so apparently, in mazz's description, he wrote out all the usual stuff: dean of students, athletics coordinator, blah blah blah. and wedged in there was this phrase: "Mazz is also the club director for Sex Without Partners." took me a while to catch onto what that meant ... allie and meghan rolled their eyes at me.

how could i want to work anywhere else?
