'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Looks like Blagojevich finally got convicted on 17 corruption counts (they deadlocked on two others, and said he wasn't guilty of another).
ETA: According to the Tribune reporter's tweets, he was convicted on all eleven Senate counts, all three hospital counts, and all three racetrack counts. The not-guilty was on a tollway count, and the two deadlocks were on another tollway charge and a school shakedown charge.
's okay, smonster. I just get a little tetchy at the generality. Not--that I ever do anything like that. Right, sure, uh huh.
Kathy,
does this mean Blago is going to jail for a long time?
Sounds like the thinking is that he might get 8-10 years.
When I was meeting with clients, I tried to dress like a professional because they were paying me and I wanted to show respect for that. When I met with the public (as a consultant), I tried not to dress too much better than anyone else in the room because it would make it look like my client was wasting their money.
When I taught middle school I used to dress up as a way of sort of honoring my students. Like they deserved the respect of someone choosing to be professional with them. I have gotten increasingly schlubby and am the worst dressed teacher on my wing (the other was a former lawyer who was all Talbots and the other other is a size 2 tiny who has no children and a lot of disposable income). Now I tend to costume dress depending on how I feel.
My mother has this issue with doing teacher training -- a suit is too much, but she does want to be dressed up to some degree.
HA! Especially because teachers can be super schlubby! When I do professional development, I always wear a skirt, heels, tights or hose and a nice top. Sometimes a jacket.
So, our principal is leaving and we are getting a new one. I'm choosing to optimistically view this as change is good.
