I don't know. Is it any wonder that the student essays are so bad when the faculty/staff letters of recommendation are also so weak.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can't believe these are coming from adults with professional jobs, sumi.
Andrew Breitbart died. So young. Wow.
Huh.

Because books.

I read stuff that comes home from school -- both the high school and Sara's school -- and cringe. A lot.

The student essays we give one group of points for what they say and another for how it is written. (I think that part 1 is difficult to judge if part 2 is particularly weak.)
Unfortunately, we don't get to grade the letters of recommendation.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks guys. I didn't expect to feel different about who I can be as an employee this late in the game (and lord knows what my mother's cancer had to do with it, but it was something...I'm creeped out by that), and even though there are things to bitch about and my health is for shit all the time, this is the easiest it's been for things to suck, ever. I'm grabbing onto this baby with both hands. I hope it can stay this way.

It's awesome that you can feel that way, and I hope it keeps on, too.

Okay, reading a recommendation for a tuition waiver that begins "it is my dubious honor to recommend"
If it was a job recommendation, I might suspect it was on purpose.
Andrew Breitbart died.
I'm sorry for his family. Saying anything else would fall into the realm of things you don't say about the dead.

It just seemed unexpected. He was only 42, I think.
