Conference Day Thoughts

Full day professional developments should be a violation of the 8th Amendment. For those not familiar:

“Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”

I think everyone can agree that being bored to tears is cruel.

I mean, come on, we’re being locked in the school, usually all in the same place, but really against our will.  There are an infinite number of things I’d rather do that listen to Chancellor’s Regulations.

Let’s take a look at some of those things

  1. Learn to write with my non-dominant hand
  2. Pull every hair out of my body individually
  3. Watch my nails grow
  4. Dangle from the ceiling by my pinky toes.
  5. Finally see what it’s like to be waterboarded.

I mean those are just to name a few.

I’m sitting here like a prisoner that’s about to walk the green mile and the governor is on vacation.  Shit, they haven’t even asked what my last meal should be.

Let’s also talk about the excessive clapping.  I really could care less who has what new title.  I’m barely phased when it comes to people coming back to work.  The amount of clapping we’ve endured would qualify as self-mutiliation.  The closet BDSM peeps are definitely excited about it, but not me.  

If the CIA would have used these meetings instead of “enhanced interrogation” they would have been infinitely more successful.

So far the most interesting part of my day has been playing Bingo.  I’m thinking I have a 75% chance of getting the full board and you can bet your ass I’ll shout out BINGO when I get it.  

It’s only 10:30……..

Stay strong out there, I know I probably won’t be.
