He demanded that she send him nude pictures and bullied her into a relationship. This is called sexual harassment. It was not β€œan affair”. RESIGN NOW.

A coworker used my room once to take a Bible study call after school and they were doing Bible math for one of the stories and whew. I would not want Bible math applied to my accounting based on what I heard.

We old! I was trying to explain my left side hip thru toe pain to a coworker and I had to stop and ask - wait how old are you? 30! Ok well, you’ll find out in about 10-15 years. You just start hurting and it never stops. And there’s no direct cause so it’s hard to reverse.

She didn’t know the status of that agent but had info about victims of violence supposedly perpetrated by an undocumented person in his state. She came prepared to avoid accountability.

I explained this phenomenon to the boys in one of my 8th grade art classes because they were all confident they could paint a portrait better than Rembrandt. They agreed they could probably beat Serena Williams at tennis, too, completely missing the point.

The overwhelming majority of American public school teachers (71%) hold at least one side job, according to a new survey released today.
