sometimes a pet owner has no other options besides using a sticky lint roller on their beloved companion

Seriously....we can make it all go away. No more news, no more court, no more property leins...all you have to do is pay. And stop giving us the bullshit lie that you have nothing to do wtih Semper LLC. Get over yourself, we are not as stupid as you wish we were.
Paying us back our money = No more problems for you

I'm debating on whether or not I should share this with my Juniors...


Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school.
He talked about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

Bill Gate's Speech ..............

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping! - they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

Today, all by myself, without anyone telling me, I cleaned.
This never ever happens.
I was so motivated to clean, that I even bought myself a little filing cabinet.
RJ was so shocked that he wrote it on the calendar.

Just to reiterate that people are stupid, and further support my claim that assholes are using the fire escape outside my bedroom for a hangout spot, we looked out the window today and noticed there is a newly placed half-full beer bottle on the fire escape now. This has been placed there within the last few days.

People are idiots.

The next time I see someone out there, I am going to call 911 and tell them that there is either a fire in my building or someone is trying to break into the building, because I can't think of any other reason why people would be on the fire escape.

Day 1:
Completely overwhlemed, came home and cried

Day 2:
a student shoved my teacher and had be "escorted" out of the classroom by security

Day 3 (today):
while I was teaching, 6 US Marshalls came into a class down the hall and arrested a kid, put him in cuffs and everything
