The school says 'an IT error' was the cause. Phony excuse, as I was able to read the letter, blown up on my phone. example: "hte" for "the". My Word and my generic wp [PC] both have autocorrect for that.
So, an executive responsible for presenting a professional front abdicates his responsibility. One reason I stopped teaching. Not "educators"; bureaucrats.

Who needs an automated car?

I was out for a walk this morning. A guy drives by me with a plastic bowl in his left hand, a spoon in his right hand and steering by holding the steering wheel between his little finger and the next finger on his left hand.

I just had a idea...

I was talking to someone today and they were having problems sitting at a desk all day.

I realize there are desks that you can adjust up and down, so your work table is elevated, one of these seats would be a practical accessory.

Your work space is high, so are you, and you could adjust it so there is NO pressure on your backbone.

You could put a little treadmill (with Fitbit connection) under the seat.

The airline I fly when in the US doesn't have wifi...so, no voting in the air for me.

AND no background noise other than other passengers, and the roar of the engines....the ONE sound I don't don't want to stop UNTIL I safely land. Happy

ear plugs to the list. I'd like to have them in most of the retail outlets around here as well.
