Bill, why don't you go down and sit in the ER for 12 to 14 hours and let them take a look at it. You'll know what's damaged and get some good drugs to help alleviate the pain.

Oh, Bill hope your foot heals quickly. How did you do that?

I was in a good mood when I came to school this morning. First hour, the principal and the VocEd director from the service center came into my classroom asking about funding issues. If you might recall the auditors came in and refused funding for my classes this year on a technicality and my new supt and principal came down me somewhat. Well these two come in asking questions which I told them why things were done the way they were and so my principal says this guy will be here to help me through the paperwork process to get things back in line, next Friday. I told them, I wasn't going to be here next Friday as I will be in Kansas City for the woodworking show and "Because I'm not funded this year, I wasn't going to do the paperwork." "Oh you have to do it to get funded next year!" "I don't really give a sh!t whether I'm funded or not." (EXACT QUOTE!) I'm tired of the state changing the rules in the middle of the game and dangling a miniature carrot out in front of you to get minuscule amount of money for a sh!tload of jumping through hoops and wading through 10' deep Bullsh!t.

Anyway they leave and 10 minutes later they call on my intercom to ask more questions which I politely (anyone read the sarcasm here) give them the answer. Two minutes later same thing......Bullsh!t.

So by the time my next class comes in I'm on a freaking rampage. I think it opened the eyes of those kids. After I was done and i sat down with one of the kids to help them with an issue she was having with a drawing. When I was finished I said "Is everything OK now?" She responds "Yes, are you OK?" Which I told her "Yes, it's just very frustrating trying to satisfy the state, who really doesn't want you to qualify for money that is due to you."

SO, my good mood went to crap! Hopefully I can get it back. Thanks for being the sounding board.

BillH, get that foot heeled up. There are throttles to be stomped on.
