I would like to take a moment to rant about the importance of proper grammar. Today I had a moment where not only was I fearful for the future of our country, I was just annoyed. I have to hire some new tutors for our after school program. So I sent an e-mail to the community college and community college students have been e-mailing me regarding the tutoring positions. (No, my applicant pool is not coming from Harvard or a UC, but still community college has standards.) What I get are e-mails from people who can't even capitalize "I" in an e-mail to inquire about a job! Or e-mails that say "can u tell me..." Let me just say that in case you are looking for a job as a tutor in subjects such as English, Spanish, etc. you should know that those words are capitalized! Some people are not getting an interview just based on that alone. I mean come on! We're not even talking about something as complicated as there, their and they're. What a waste of my time reading these stupid e-mails.
Also today I just feel like shit. My sciatica/arthritis hurt so much this morning I was shaking. I can't even sit today and be comfortable and normally I can at least do that. That could be a reason I was so easily annoyed with dumb people today.
Clearly the barrier I put up to keep them off the patio is not effective.
Where's Clark? (Hint-He is not wearing a stripped shirt like Waldo.)
