I think I smell a rat.....

Great song by the White Stripes, not cool of a coworker.

So today is our last day of being paid by Milwaukee Public Schools, our contract starts back up on August 30th. There are no kids left at all, grades are all online, most cleaning is done. What to do today?? Well, its been a long year so a nice teacher decided to arrange a BBQ picnic for all staff. Awesome, some beers, burgers, laughs, and great weather. Everyone interested paid there money for it all , he called the park and reserved some benches and what not, and no one brought a lunch because we'll be cooking out. Sweet!!

Then, we have a meeting this morning for all of staff. She thanks us for a great year; yada, yada, yada. She then proceeds to tell us that she received a phone call from Central Offices saying that a staff member called them and said, "the principal is allowing everyone to go to their lunch hour, have a picnic, and not come back." (Our day officially ends at 3:45 according to contract.) So now she tells us that everyone must be here until 3:45 no exceptions, but we can still have our hour lunch at noon.

Who in their right mind would do that? Call in and rat everyone out? Come on? The outside world has certain things they do to these people. Imagine if this person were in prison and they did something similar to this?

Then our principal just went on the loudspeaker saying she worked some things out and we can all take our lunch break and 2:45 and not come back. Thanks, I think?? Now we can have a shortened, later picnic. But, no one brought a lunch and we can't take a lunch break either. I also have literally nothing to do today except sit in my room doing some serious Interneting. I swear edgrimley, if this was your doing, you're going to be on my list.

Ratting out your co-workers; TOO SAD FOR CAKE.
