Mara Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Grrr. Got out to the cell site at 11pm as scheduled. Got on the conference call, and 2 critical sites were left off of our list. Coordinator did not have addresses or latitude/longitude coords for these sites, so we had no way of adding them since we didn't know where to find the towers. Project cancelled for the night. Oh well, at least I get to bank the per diem for it anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those per diems will do a nice job of offsetting that VIP package, I'm thinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boy got suspended, even though he wasn't really picking a fight - he was just being stupid. What pisses me off? When Kerry got punched, he tore into the guy and hit him back - and Kerry got ISD (in school detention) for tomorrow, and will miss his last band rehearsal before the concert. The principal said she knew Kerry reacted by reflex and that he had a right to defend himself, but "there are consequences." UGH. Man, that sucks. At the start of the school year, Patrick was bugging one of his friends in gym class and the kid punched Patch square in the nose. It bled on and off for most of that day. Patrick got in-school suspension. Why? For inciting an incident. Zero tolerance sometimes makes zero sense. Yes, the zero tolerance thing is ridiculous. On the bright side, I did convince the powers that be to let Kerry out of jail to go to band so he could rehearse with them for tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine has a 17 year old son that got into a fight at school. He didn't start it. The teacher and the principal even admitted that he didn't start it. The school's policy is to call the police and my friends son was issued a ticket. What in the hell is he supposed to do? Stand there and let the other kid whip his ass? I don't think your boy did anything wrong at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did talk to the counselor after that situation, who offered some reasonable perspective when she said that it's better to overreact when they are this age than to lead them to believe that their behavior, not matter how innocuous, has no consequences. In all fairness, we are talking about a school with a population of at least a hundred testosterone-charged males who haven't figured out how to deal with all that comes with the hormonefest that is early teenagerism. But, still... suspension? I thought that was a little much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of a Rider Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 (edited) I had to retake a DP class in Houston that I took eight years ago because the five year time limit expired and I couldn't submit the original class certificate to get my DP certificate from the Nautical Institute in the UK. Well, I drove four hours there, paid them $2698 for the class (my company paid for it the first time), spent four days taking the class, get my certificate, drive four hours back home and realize I left my certificate at the f***ing school. I just about had a brain embolism when I realized what I had done. It's really not that big a deal though. All I have to do is call them tomorrow and ask them to Fedex it to me. It still pissed me off at the time however. Edited May 28, 2010 by Ghost of a Rider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
