****, you will not believe this! according to the american heritage
dictionary of the english language, we need to hyphenate "self-esteem."
our world wide web page says "self esteem."

on the world wide web, some folks don't hyphenate it; i'll give you that.

but on the world wide web, some folks... well, never mind.

hold on. let me go check webster...

funk and wagnalls and webster both hyphenate it. holy toledo, ****, our
"beliefs" are a mess!

my plan: we pay insane_root 1/10 of what we paid the
i-make-jokes-about-people-defecating-on-people guy, we pay insane_root
that amount to re-write our "beliefs" with all the hyphens
in-the-right-place. insane_root, will you do it? speak to us, oh phd!

plan #2: ****, you really need to un-delegate (i was joking when i said
you'd made ** do it. did you make the bus guys do it?) and focus like a
laser-beam on our world wide web page, especially the "beliefs" part. you
have training in this language stuff. you need to fix it.

plan #3: the contest. but we need to hurry. my paranoid fantasy is that
al-qaeda is going to re-produce our world wide web page (world wide!!!)
and thereby humiliate the western world. "luke," their announcer will say
(meaning "look"), and they will put it up on every tv screen from
hal-zibba to ur-istan. "luke at thees decedunt stufe from de west. day
cannot eben write dayr own lankwich."

maybe i am seeing trouble where there is none. but heck, gosh, jee whiz!
let's GIT 'ER DUN!

****, i will send you tomorrow a correct "beliefs" section. i will ask
all the "copy" people to help me. can we get some in-service credit for
it? - john
ps i know i worry too much... but did someone in the big office do this
on purpose to create a hostile work envirnment? ha ha ha! gotcha! just
joking!! lol!!

pps the chicken was good! ppps while we are on the subject: are
you our boss or our colleague? seriously. are you vertically "above" us?
my understanding from the old days was that the supervisors were
horizontal colleagues, folks there to serve us teachers. has that
changed? are you betty's boss? please advise. we have a definite right
to know what the chain-of-command is. thanks! pppps to all the
"copies": let's do a great job teaching tuesday!
