School District of Ridiculousness

So, back in November I got a "job offer" from Ridiculous School District.

Two days later I got an e-mail from the Principal informing me that their HR department filled the position and I was out of a job. /Sorry

Today, I got home to this e-mail from their HR department in response to my sending them some general information back in August. It basically asks me to send them the same things I brought them for my interview in November.

I Replied with anger:

Hello Lady,

I am replying to your inquiry into my certification. I currently hold an Instructional I FUNFUN certificate and a SILLINESS program specialist. I am currently working as a long-term substitute until the end of May 2011. I would also like to let you know that I already interviewed with Dr. Old Man at Crazy School in November. While he originally made an employment offer, he informed me via e-mail two days later that Human Resources filled the position he offered me. Both Old Man and Human Resources should have all of my information as I was under the impression that he was sending my paperwork to HR. Please let me know if you have any more questions or need any other paperwork.

Respectfully,

Jaybro

Respectfully?

or disrespectfully???

(we all know which one)

Also- Maybe if I involved them, they'd understand?

¡feliz cumple!

don't worry guys....this is the REAL birthday song.

I think we've met...

Jaybro: Hey, roomie guess what?

Roomie: What?

Jaybro: There's gonna be a male stripper at my formal on Friday!

Roomie: No way! There's a guy in my class who strips! He goes by the stage name "Giovanni". We all make fun of him because he's always working out and drinking tons of milk.

Jaybro: oh god, I hope it's him! I mean, how many male strippers could there be in this town?

HElllllOOOOO Giovanni!

then, 2 glorious weeks later at a local dancing establishment...

Jaybro: Hey! I think I recognize you from somewhere!

Man: Oh hey, baby. I'm sorry...what's your name again?

Jaybro: I'm Jaybro. What's your name?

Man: I'm Man. Where did we meet?

Jaybro: Oh, you stripped at my formal. I was the one taking incriminating photos of my friends.

Man: OOOHHHHHH mannnn... turns to friend Yo, dude she met me while I was working.

everyone laughs.

Merry Christmas, if you believe in that stuff

I wish I got a puppy, but I guess it's not my birthday.

Car? or toaster?

Am I the only one who thinks that this is a terrible marketing campaign? "What's better? Driving a car? Driving a toaster? What about driving a cardboard box?" If you ask me, this doesn't say much about the kia.

You can drive a car

or you can drive a toaster

you can drive a car

or you can drive a toaster

you can drive a car

or you can drive a toaster

you can drive a car

or try a cardboard box

I will NOT be buying one. ever.

also...why hamsters? do they evoke some sort of sense of security? Do people really love their childhood pet hamsters and recall the times they spent together. The hamster running around in a little ball, cleaning all the urine-soaked cedar chips from the bottom of the cage, listening to the incessant squeaking of a wheel while trying to sleep? WHAT MEMORIES!!!

I LOST

DON'T BLAME ME!! BLAME THE SEASON

AND THE GRAND MARNIER

Tonight was the annual "bonebowl christmas gift exchange" where everyone brings awful gifts and we have a white elephant party.

gifts included (but were not limited to)

- old hair clippings from a recent haircut

- a Ghost movie poster

- Donovan McNabb Jersey (Eagles)

- Nair facial hair removal kit

- 1/2 bottle of 40 year old Grand Marnier

- "Yo amo tacos" shirt

- Box of junk

- Bag of junk

- porcelain bust

...you get the picture

The game is played with a giant bone painted red and blue. Each participant takes the giant bone and throws it in the air. If it lands with the red side up...you do nothing. If it lands with the blue side up you can either take a gift from the middle or steal a gift from another person.

We keep going around and around until everyone has a gift. Everyone gets to laugh at the terrible gifts and eat tons of food.

a fun night was had by all.

merry bonebowl christmas!!!

...I ended up with the 1/2 bottle of grand marnier

What a house!

This is a house in my neighborhood. They always go all-out for Christmas. There are lights COVERING almost every inch of their lawn. I think it's tacky and ridiculous. Apparently their neighbors do too. One of the neighbors doesn't have any lights on their front lawn aside from a small sign that reads, "Happy Birthday Jesus".

That picture will come on Jesus's birthday.

SEASON FINALE

okay so, is anyone else EXCITED about this???

MTV, 10PM, IDIOT GIRLS, POOR BABIES
