Using the Kings English

As I proceed to the last 20 weeks of this God forsaken school year....I have yet another gripe..

My boss, who was raised in the US of A...cannot use the past or the future tense correctly in a sentence...example

"I am going to the board yesterday"

" We should do that thing about yesterday...tommorrow..."

By nature, I am not a violent person..but I would like to beat this person to death with a dictionary...

I could imagine CSI coming in...taking the photos of the body, examining the pages that had fluttered about the room
in the course of the grisly attack...

The other VP breathes like Darth Vadar...now that is annoying during a conversation...I am continually looking around for my Wookie and wondering when I should warm up the Milennium Falcon...

I know that I have to move on...Just the other day, I was watching a special about private security firms in Iraq and I thought "Hey! I could do that!" Terrific...I am willing to be blown up or a victim of Jihad before I go back to my job next year....I am willing to hear the sound YEYEYEYEYEYEYEEEEEEEE before getting my ass blown up for some hard up terrorist who wants 98 virgins...

Then I saw openings for air traffic controllers...great..I thought about getting a job as a completely ADHD certified person....I am sure that would be a thrill as I had planes flying so close to one another, they could share toilet paper through the windows....

Maybe we should all put our money together in here....move to Tuscany into one of those huge villas that has 15 rooms and needs restoration..we could pick olives, raise sheep and stomp our own wine...how about it?

What really sucks is that we are headed for a recession -so everyone is going to need another job just to keep above water....then we can complain about 2 sucky jobs instead of one...

I cannot stand to sit in faculty meetings and be assaulted by improper english from folks with *ahem* DOCTORATE degrees. Here is an example of what I hear:

"Folks, we HAS to get these test scores up!"

or how about this little gem:

"Please be at your door when YOU STUDENT COME to class."

I just sit there with my little bachelors degree and grit my teeth. I soon won't have any teeth left!
