Okay, so I moved schools this year specifically because I could not stand my last principal. I just was told today that she is being added as part of a training group I've been part of for a year now. There are 6 of us total, and we have to travel to another city and attend day-long trainings together. It is a year-long training with homework assignments, etc. There will be no way for me to avoid her.
This woman made my life MISERABLE last year. Just as one taste of how obnoxious she is, she told me last year not to get pregnant ... which is certainly against the law for her to have done so.

Typhoon? Cool! (Well, as long as it doesn't do any major damage to where you are). I've been through a hurricane, which was simultaneously scary and fascinating. There's supposedly tornadoes are here, so I might get to see one of those, too.
Mandy... I'm so sorry you'll have to have contact with that hag again. I'm guessing there's no way to anonymously report what she said? Because yeah... that's pretty illegal and she must not only be a hag, but either very trusting of you, or very stupid.
I don't care for Facebook's picture policies and so do not post pictures on there. My SIL has posted several of me on there and did not bother to ask how I felt about it, which irritates the crap out of me. I updated my photo page (not Fb) with pics from the Renfest last weekend. My SIL copies several pics and past them on her GD wall.
If I had wanted the pics on Fb, I WOULD HAVE POSTED THEM MYSELF!!! They're not her pics, she didn't ask if she do it. And to top it off, she and MIL are commenting on my weight!!!

How inconsiderate!![]()
I confess I'm tired of every single one of my family members requesting to be my facebook friend...even the ones I hardly ever talk to or see face to face.
(does anyone know how to put people into a separate group and really turn up the privacy? I think this was discussed before but I can't remember.)
Hahaha I'm so there with you. You're not my "bestie", you're an aunt who didn't give a rats ass about me any of the 5 times I've ever seen you in person...
And I have no idea about the privacy thing. I'm sure someone can tell you though, there are some FB experts on APA.
I think FB gives people this illusion of safety and a weird distant-closeness. And I've also noticed that a lot of people act differently on FB than they do in real life... they get personal much quicker online, and seem to "gush" about things more, KWIM? I keep getting these super emphatic looking "Happy Birthdays" and other wishes on my wall from people who I barely know and it sort of weirds me out.
I'm such a Facebook newb, I have no idea. I have learned how to hide all of a person's posts so I don't see them (in addition to hiding all things Farmville, Mafia Wars and that crap I really don't care about), and I know how to break the connection and "unfriend" someone.
I confess yesterday's crap made me consider just deleting my Facebook account, but I got on it to keep in touch with a few people I miss - and for whatever reason rarely use their email (though they might be on Fb daily . . . WTH!). I don't want to give up that connection with the people I WANT to befriend just because of the arses that I'd like to slap silly.
Oh cool! The renfest is even better when it's free. Though unless you decide to take food, be prepared to spend some bucks. Though there are things there we buy even if we did take food. Scotch Eggs, for instance. Candied pecans (which we forgot last weekend.). and a ham and cheese crepe. Oh my . . . I'm hungry now and it's just soup for lunch . . .
UGH Lydia, I know! If you scroll over to the side of the farmville notice thingy, it'll say hide. It'll give you the option of hiding the farmville notices or you can hide the person posting it. I click on the actual farmville app or mafia wars app

I confess that I'm a bit perturbed right now. I had a teaching evaluation this morning and the secondary principal pulled me aside during the lab (the students were in groups of 4 doing a sea water analysis lab) and told me that my one group of 2 girls/2 boys were talking too much. All the other groups were made up of all girls OR all boys, but because of the class gender dynamics, I didn't have enough boys/girls to split them evenly. I guess in the Muslim culture boys/girls are not supposed to communicate? I mean they were talking ABOUT THE LABWTF?? These are 11th and 12th graders. Don't they need to know how to work together? They're going to be entering the real world in a very short time. I'm annoyed.
Oh, thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you! I learned how to hide people a while ago, but didn't know I could hide the applications. Maybe I'll look at my FB a little more often now that I can see if my friends are doing anything besides playing all those games.
------------------
Jenny, is there any way the principal might have just been saying they were talking too much in general, not specifically because of the gender thing? Were the other groups being quieter? And if it is a gender issue, well, all I can say is it's a really good school that actually does prepare students for life in the real world.

Ashley, OW! I got mine bitten enough when I was bf-ing that I still flinch sometimes if the babies come near me with open mouths.
I'm having neighbor trouble. We share a driveway, and our back yards are not separated. They've been going on our property and cutting down our plants, and today one of their relatives went into our back yard, around our outbuilding, and started measuring our fence. I told him we would need to get a surveyor to settle this for good, and he wouldn't get out of my face. I was nervous about leaving the babies alone in the house and kept telling him I needed to go, and he wouldn't stop telling me his opinions about everything, including saying my dh was a *&^% to him because he just happened to use my dh's motorcycle as a lounge chair. I finally walked away. I'm still shaking, it was such an intense confrontation.
And now I'm trying to find a surveyor.
Whoa Lydia, that's scary and so inconsiderate! I would definitely get a VERY LARGE privacy fence.
