😉 Oh man, don’t think I haven’t thought about this! The gov doesn’t seem to put much value on education. The good news is that even if the states tries to gut it, it will still need a director, and every director still needs an assistant because God forbid the director actually works! The better news is that very little of the money actually comes from the state.

I think that was ‘cat on a hot tin roof’…
and that’s what he just stuck you with…
But anyhow, contractualigrations!

"But boss, the hot tub was YOUR idea.
Stocking it with bimbos was mine. Icing on the cake, so to speak.
You’re welcome!"

My last job was at a hospital. I repeatedly volunteered to serve on the Death Panels, but I guess there was just too much competition. I never got picked.

Excellent news! There’s hope for us all (I’ve got a brother going on 30 months unemployed).
May your new job be a great fit for you.

I also recently got a job after four years(!!!) of unemployment. Though only the last 18 months of that was without reserves of cash.
Hurrah for us!
