Conversations Between A Teacher and Her Boss

So what Jefferson was saying was "Hey! You know, we left this England place because it was bogus. So if we don't get some cool rules ourselves, pronto, we'll just be bogus too."

Last month:

HEAD HONCHO: I’m going to transfer you to a better teaching position because you rock. Seriously. Should be any day now. Get ready.

OVERQUALIFIED TEACHER: Sweet.

Last week:

HEAD HONCHO: That position is open, but there’s a lot to consider. I got an intern who rocks as well.

OVERQUALIFIED TEACHER: An intern? As in “college student”? Does this intern have big breasts and a winning smile?

HH: Why yes he does, but that’s beside the point. I know you’ve been a successful business woman/political consultant and gave it up to teach tomorrow’s leaders not Wal-Mart greeters, but this intern can coach football. I’m looking for Billy Bob Thorton, not Goldie Hawn. Know what I’m saying?

OT: But this is a Humanities class and I taught Humanities at my last school.

HH: I know, I know. You mentioned that already. Ever taught American Government?

OT: A few years ago.

HH: Sh*t.

OT: And if you’ll look at my resume, you’ll see that I have experience in one of the top lobbying firms in Massachusetts.

HH: Yeah, I’m not a big fan of the Kennedys.

OT: Okay…

HH: What about Florida politics? Connected to anything around here?

OT: I paid my way through college working for two local congressmen.

HH: I guess I’m not being clear. Tell me about the nickel defense.

OT: Excuse me?

HH: Do you know how to get good penetration up front?

OT: Well, this conversation has taken a turn. Our future governor wants me on his team and you’re conflicted because I can't coach football?

HH: Discuss negatives involved in a safety blitz or this conversation is over.

Today

Anyone hiring?

Teaching or lobbying?

Tampa Bay Water is looking for a public affairs person.

Charlie Crist wants you on his team?

I sure hope you showed him the positives of the safety blitz by dropping him hard right then and there.

P.S. I'd give you my platelets (the Red Cross used to get a double dose in 45 minutes from me every other week), but a bout with cancer prevents me. Hope whatever you've got is curable. Eat mor chiken.

P.P.S. I don't think that cartoon has you standing far enough left.

Oooooh...Charlie Crist...that's a good one, Bob. Gotta love the Irish in ya - nothing like a good row, right?

I'd love to go back to the real world, but I'm gonna stay with teaching so I get more family time. Now that's a value you conservatives can get behind, right?

Rick - you continue to make me laugh just when I really need to - keep it up.

Not only do I want her on my team, I want to drink her bath water.
