GM's thread about nothing (63 Viewers)

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Another cute benefit of having tech-clueless people on staff is that it hurts those of us who know what we're doing (most of the time).

Last week I open up our gradebook program for the first time this year. My password does not work. Here is pretty much the exact message I sent via our "help desk" app.

Hey, I know you guys are busy but I just tried to open Gradebook and my password doesn't work.

When I enter the password it does NOT tell me that it is incorrect.

All it does is revert back to a blank password field.

I know this is is the correct username and password since it is the same one for email and I have no problem with opening email.

Thanks.

About 15 minutes later I get a phone call from one of tech people. Here is the conversation:

Her: Yeah I checked with Dustin (head tech dude) and he says your Gradebook password is the same as your email password.

Me: Yeah, that's the password I've been entering.

Her: Have you used that password to open your email?

Me: Yes, several times. And like I said in the message it isn't telling me that my password is incorrect. Nothing happens. I really don't think this has to do with an incorrect password or username.

Her: Did you make sure you don't have the caps-lock on?

Me: (laughing) Yeah, I'm 100% sure. The computer is plugged in too in case that was your next question.

Her: Well we do have to ask these things.

Eventually it just came down to an update that should have happened a few weeks ago. I'm not blaming our tech people at all. It just sucks.

Did you try unplugging it and plugging it back in?

I did but nothing happened

That surge protector is plugged into itself. It'll never work that way.

I didn't know you were an electrician.

I know my way around holes.

I like your new Jag

It's unlikely that JISLORD intentionally refers to anything sexual, but the innuendo is humorous.

My wife just told me she works with a woman named Shilala (rhymes with Dishwala). But it's cool because she goes by "Lala".

So who else is bonus drunk tonight?? WHat is bonus drunk you ask?? Finding out your friday paycheck will be 2x the normal amount becuase you kick ### and your boss likes what you do. Also, your boss asked you to a golf outing in a few weeks, so you can golf, get paid for it, and your wife has to go along iwth it. Unfortunately I am not a cricket. :kicks rock:

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the idea that Channing Tatum, Mark Ruffalo and Steve Carell could be in an Oscar nominated film for Foxcatcher. It won't stop me from seeing it in a couple of weeks but it won't sit well with me.

Just grilled some pretty much perfectly marinated flank steak and washed it down with gallons of beer. For those of you not opposed to tecate and you have a Ralph's or it's partner in your area. One can purchase a 30 pack for $18 and receive $4 off on that shopping trip. 30 beers for 14 dollars. That's babe o licious right there. There was another beer option, I think it was bud light.

Drinking* and Spotifying. Remember when Bjork wasn't batcrap and the Sugarcubes were good?

*Fourth day of the new school year and this is the second time I've drank the night before. Some total bull #### going on at work. I know what a lot of people think about teachers and teacher unions but for probably the first time in my 18 year career I am probably going to have to play the union card against my district. I feel like puking.

Why is ti called a grilled cheese sandwich when it isn't makd on a grill?? Tonight I made my girls grilled cheese sandwhiches on the fricken grill, because that is what they wanted. Made the cross grill marks and all, they weren't impressed.

My wife just got called out on the ALS challenge thingy and my girls are going to join her. My 6 year old daughter (no homer) is going to call me out, I am going to make sure to put some extra ice cubes in her bucket tomorrow.

I have an idea for a weekend shot video.

I'm not going to go into the whole story. If I start typing it will take forever. We're not talking career-ending or quitting or anything like that. Bottom line is I will still have a job in a pretty damn good school. But for the first time in 18 years at this district I'm starting to lose faith that those people above me (whom I've always been on very good terms with) aren't doing the right thing(s).

I'll tell the whole story later on after things shake out.

Here's trick for parents with young kids...

They want grilled cheese but you don't want to go through all the trouble/mess? Toast the bread in a toaster. Spray some butter spray on the outside. Slap some cheese in between the bread and put it in the science oven for 20 secs.

WALA. What I used to call Faux Cheese.

Why would you do that? When you make grilled cheese for ANYONE you always make one...two...three for yourself.

Do you actually make it on a grill?? Why not call it a "frying pan cheese sandwich"?
