What?!?

Six months ago we hired Hailey as our sitter for Tanner. We felt that

she was ready for the responsibility of keeping the boy safe for a

couple of hours at a time. She kept a timecard and finally submitted

it to us for full payment of her services.

So we gave her the $700.00 that she earned. BUT.... we also had

to let her know about the deductions that would be taken out of

her pay.

Hailey's stack of cash diminished significantly as she handed over the

fees of life.

Ouch!

Stupid Laptop!

The Joys of Jr. High

It's a new school year, shiny new building, fresh teachers and
a new concept: Let's give all the students laptops instead of
textbooks. BUT let's not tell anyone how to use the darn things.
THEN tell the 12 year old to find their e-mail address, set up
a dropbox, print and sign disclosure agreements for seven
classes, access an online textbook by invitation only. Better yet,
send the student on a mean scavenger hunt in search of
assignments and due dates. It was a great first day!

How cruel....
