Days like today make me more believe in the adage that life is tough, tougher when you're stupid.
A client let me read an e-mail he received from one of his employees. Now I tend to fly off the handle sometimes, but I learned a long time ago, never put things in writing that you can say in person. That way, it's your word against theirs.
In this e-mail, the employee said (I've corrected the spelling and grammar) "Just because you are the owner of this company, you have no right to take days off whenever you please"
There is so much wrong with that thought, I don't even know where to begin.
Why is it that someone who would never think about walking into Target and stealing $150 of DVDs thinks nothing about goosing up their deductions on their tax returns to get back an extra $150.
Why don't teachers proofread the notes they send home? Are we supposed to feel secure in the fact that they can't spell or write a legible sentence?
Why is it a college educated woman can't learn how to enter a stupid picture in a stupid blog?
These and many other questions never to be answered in our next installment.

Congrats on posting a photo!
And I resent that teacher comments ... just b/c we're teachers, doesn't mean we can all spell. :0( I have a problem! :0)
*sheesh* I guess teachers don't have proper grammar either. :0)
I'll stop flood posting now.
Good ones Kelley.
I would have completely chewed that client out who told me I didn't have a right to take days off if I owned a company.
Glad you are taking a break from the madness and entertaining us with your blog. :)
1) I think I would have told them they just earned all the days off they wanted, forever.
2) Here is a college educated woman who has major blog problems, in general!
3) I am also a teacher who can't spell. Thank God for spell check! That's how I made it through college too! What can I say? I have SIX parents this year who are ENGLISH majors!! I try to check each newsletter many times! Though I'm sure I don't catch them all. I blame it on too much online time, I now type like I talk... rambling. Scary!
I do love reading your "stuff" Kelley, you should write a book I tell ya!
