Exception to rule 9(a):  Become a public school teacher and work 180
days/year, get time off for bad weather, watch movies and other "fun" stuff
before holiday and summer breaks.  Become a Special Ed teacher and work six
hours/day!

Yes, you're darn right I'm bitter! LOL!

These are true... From a list someone sent me.  Kat

ELEVEN RULES YOU NEVER LEARNED IN SCHOOL...

Rule 1.
Life is not fair; get used to it.

Rule 2.
The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will
expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about
yourself.

Rule 3.
You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high
school.You won't be a vice president with a car phone, until you
earn both.

Rule 4.
If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
He doesn't have tenure.

Rule 5.
Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your
grandparents had a different word for burger flipping; they
called it opportunity.

Rule 6.
If you mess up, it's not your parents fault, so don't whine
about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7.
Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they
are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning
your clothes, and listening to you talk about how cool you
are. So, before you save the rain forest from the parasites
of your parents generation, try delousing the closet in your
own room.

Rule 8.
Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but
life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing
grades; they'll give you as many times as you want to get the
right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to
ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9.
Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers
off, and very few employers are interested in helping you
find yourself. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10.
Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually
have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11.
Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
