This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

My wife was burned out from teaching and was eventually by Jeash
recruited to work as an assistant in the development office. She was interviewed by the person who would have been her boss at one of the development tailgates. The reason that they wanted to hire her was the current assistant was incompetent, she couldn’t even spell her bosses name correctly in emails and letters after working for him for several months. My wife asked him when he would fire her and his response was “I can’t fire her , Notre Dame doesn’t fire people we just move them to other departments. She will get dumped in somebody else’s office”.
