it's NOT back-to-school

[kiss_me_cassie]

I’m having some annoyance/rage issues with what constitutes as “back to school.” Listen, I get it. You’re proud of your kid and I’m in the minority with a kid who goes to daycare year round and therefore doesn’t have an official start date in late August/early September because he’s already in ‘school

Not to annoyingly ignore the whole point of your post...will we get a "first day of fall" photo? It's been a long time since we've gotten some N adorableness. :)

I will try to remember to post pictures of the upcoming weekend's apple picking adventure. But it will be just that... NOT back to school!

Excellent!!!

It's even more annoying for those of us who work in educational establishments all year round. We get patronising emails from the management team saying they hope we've had a nice summer break. Then every day this week the morning radio DJ has been reading out all the "back to school" messages, as all the schools start on different days.

I KNOW! Faculty do that too. Like, WTF dude? We've been here all summer making sure the uni keeps running and students have something to come back to! WTF do you mean how was my break and it's good to be back??! I'VE BEEN HERE.

But that's another rant for another day. :P

We've been here all summer trying to do our jobs, but there's nobody to get information from!!!

One of the patronising emails even said how surprised this new (highly overpaid) executive director (in a college) was that there were so many people working over the summer. Well, yes, because we have full year contracts and this is a very busy time for the people who deal with work based learners.

Haaaa, this drives me crazy too. My ex tells everyone how my son started "preschool" this year. No he didn't. You sent him to daycare.

[kiss_me_cassie]

heh. EXACTLY.

Hey, did you ever find red baby pants? (I can read but not post/comment at P101.)

I found some red-with-white-polka-dots at H&M and they worked. :) Thanks for asking!
