The cycle ends right now. You can't lead me down that road.

Sarah,

That is a good point. I teach online and I have been frequently amazed at the emails I get from some of my students. I would never in a million years talked to one of my professors that way - even the idiot ones!

I have a supervisor who thinks everyone is stupid, and he thinks I could EVER tolerate his BS...my favorite saying about this is Find your inner ***** get to know her, and use her for good!! Keeps me sane in the vortex.....

 Yep.  When I was still a first-year teacher in Texas, my principal had it out for me when she found out I had WLS.  She worked very hard to make my year hellish.  She even tried to stage an "intervention" with a few colleagues to try and save my soul because I "ruined God's temple" by getting WLS and, apparently, Jesus does not like pouches.

It was so bad that I left the profession - having such a bad first-year teaching experience can definitely ruin your outlook on the education field.  Still, I have turned lemons into lemonade... now I'm in nursing school and happier than ever.  My momma always told me that living well is the best revenge.  Screw the haters - they can't hold me down!!

 Oh. MY. DOG.

I would have had to eat her.

 How do you know I DIDN'T??

She was delicious with some ketchup.

LOL!  Crunchy, like dragons?

 Nah... more limp and soggy, like a jellyfish.  

The reason I kept my surgery secret was that my principal had expressed that WLS turned another teacher very unreliable, and she wouldn't trust anyone who had the surgery to BE reliable.

I did NOT want to be considered unreliable, so I kept it to myself.

I think that two other teachers have also had surgery on my campus but kept it secret for this reason.

I don't know 100% what is going on...... But bullying is NEVER the answer.

Again I write... Thank you for all the good you do and information you provide. Whatever you are experiencing is very unfortunate and I wi**** was not so.

PS-You are more gracious than I by not naming names!

 Ha.

Not gracious at all.  I already did that.  Anger is moving to a different plane, is all.
