GM's thread about nothing (59 Viewers)

[DA RAIDERS]

HEY RUSTYLICIOUS:

Question: We were all issued iPads this year (we're an Apple district already). But we cannot download apps. We have whatever comes standard on the iPad plus our attendance app.

What is the reasoning behind this? Are there things we can get through the App store that can destroy the network? Is it a bandwidth thing?

I'll stay on the line but not listen.

Does this mean me? How the hell would I know this? I don't think so but I'm pretty much like GM when it comes to technology except way better but still not all fancy.

Sorry for the confusion.

It wasn't confusing

Shhh...I'm trying to be nice.

Hey, you know what would go good with your marinated skirt steak and Tecate? Lime. And a KTLA televised car chase. And an In-n-Out animal style combo. And a 6.0 earthquake that nobody blinks an eye at. And KROQ. And the impossibility of taking surface streets for more than 2 miles. And hot chicks.

Way ahead of you. I also added in some tramp stamped whores, a sig alert, a drought alert, and I ran into dr drew the other night, actually true. And I'm in the OC, I have my double double, animal style, protein style, again, actually true.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

If you don't laugh at this you don't agree with me and it makes me kind of sad.

I hope she was wearing a name tag or else that dog is psychic to know her name.

Because almost every bank in America doesn't have their tellers wear nametags and/or display placards with their names on it at the station.

Dr. Drew and Adam Carolla hosting Loveline (circa 1995) was probably the pinnacle of American call-in radio. I will die on that hill.

Teaching my 3 year old to hit lefty. So far so good.

His first instinct was to use the butt of the bat to hit the ball off the tee and cackle maniacally. Seemed like a fresh approach.

He's already better then Nick Swisher.

 

[GroveDiesel]

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.

Didn't mean to bring the room down. Please accept this rocket launcher puppy as an apology.

Sorry to hear that. It seems like teaching is becoming more and more about the processes and the administration covering their butts than it is about actually teaching,

My wife's district is in a contract year and things have been steadily going south for a while, this next year could be really uncomfortable. In fact, school hasn't even started here yet and things are boiling over. The super setup some sort of training meeting today that he requested the teachers in the district come to despite not paying them for it, so the union told all the teachers to refuse to go. So now the super is apparently very mad because nobody is coming to his meeting. Good times,

Going to the Twins game tomorrow. Free Beer, free brats, and free Fox Sports North girls. Pretty excited. I hope Angie is there.

And you'll be there for Kluber's no-hitter.

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 usually call it a toasted cheese sandwich.

"I'm a cricket!" FFS....that actually made me laugh out loud. My dog just ran into the office all concerned. Thinks there's something wrong.

Milhouse: *Hrrrnnnnh?!"

Me: Don't worry, dude, I'm just laughing at some stranger from the internet's corn tooph. It's all good.

Maybe I don't understand...

1. The district is headed in the wrong direction

2. This is a "contract year"

3. Super tries to have a training session, presumably to improve some aspect of the district, presumably to address 1 and 2.

4. The union tells teachers not to go because they aren't getting paid.

I think I see some of the problem.

Her name tag is clearly visible behind the monitor. The dog obviously isn't psychic; he's reading.

We have this - http://www.toysrus.com/buy/toy-baseball/grow-to-pro-triple-hit-baseball-b6312-2327129

It's pretty cool b/c it pitches (or soft tosses) the balls automatically. Downside is that they enjoy putting the balls in and watching it pop out more then hitting. Upside is that my boys get a kick out of me hitting the ball as far as I can, so it's batting practice for me every day

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.

This story, it is terrible.

Not sure what the Sup expected. We have what are called "buy back" days. We don't have to show up but if we do we get something like $275. Most people do show because it is easy money.

Just kidding. I hope you raise awareness and 'raise awareness' at the same time.
