Last week, Kim was ordered to continue this daily routine at home. District officials said the offices for “housed” employees were becoming too crowded.

So I guess he puts on his shirt and tie, goes downstairs and “clocks in” at 7:30, takes his 30 minute lunch on schedule, and “clocks out” at 2:30? Does he ever get “bus duty” and stand around in his driveway for awhile?

Only in California . . .

What a great idea! I bet we could save billions of dollars by paying members of Congress not to work. (If only we had ordered them to stay home a year ago, we would have saved trillions in bailout money.)

Corona,

Don’t tell me. You are also still in mourning over the demise of the village crier and court jester, eh?

Time moves on. Does your TV still use rabbit ears?

I probably have read the L.A. Times for more years than almost anyone else who has read this post. It’s not only leftist editorially, but culturally. That being said, this kind of reporting is why the demise of newspapers should not be celebrated, regardless of your political leaning.

txvet2,

You can afford Ripple or Thunderbird? Your 401k must be doing better than mine.

That’s a great idea. I haven’t taught for 65 years. I should get my cut too.

I think I’ll stick to Ripple or Thunderbird. It’s nice and cheap and I won’t have to panhandle long to afford a bottle after the current clown class gets through destroying my retirement income.

Merlots

With the exception of right bank Bordeaux, merlot is for pimps and housewives.

I’m surprised you’d drink anything from the right bank.

Aren’t many of the teachers in public schools, today, being paid not to teach anyway, for years? They collect paychecks, but they sure don’t teach. They just fake it. As long as they are “pc” and support the union, their jobs are safe.
