As a follow up to the previous posting I offer the "Top Ten" points to remember after an encounter like the one described in "Kiss Me Where It Don't Snow Part one."
1. The volume of the person voice who is to do the kissing is inversely proportional to the time it takes your Boss and her Boss to chew your ass out for the parent's accusations.
2. You might as well say what needs to be said because your going to get blamed for it anyway.
3. The apple don't fall to far from the tree.
4. Remember that cheese cake or warm soft baked cookies can do a world of good for hurt feelings.
5. You DO NOT have to share the cookies. (unless you want to)
6. There is always another day and another opportunity to be a servant.
7. Each day pays the same.
8. Some people know what you do is important. You may die not knowing any of them but the probability of there being one is pretty good.
9. The probability that your "Boss" being one of those who recognize that you are some one that makes a difference is directly proportional to the amount of the Boss's work that you have done in the past and the amount of work they think you are going to do for them in the future.
10. JESUS IS COMING AGAIN!

KISS ME WHERE IT DON'T SNOW!
In my business I meet the most wonderful people. An English teacher who's great desire is to serve the US soldiers as a family counselor when they return to the US, a coach that uses his truck to take kids home after practice. Wonderful people! But then there are those who bring me to pause... Then if I have been able to restrain my reflexes I don't say what I should but I smile and take their CRAP!! Today I had just that kind of encounter with a parent who blamed me and her child's teacher for his problems.
As understanding as I can be, today was not the day to blame me for problems of a sstudent that had come from a detention center for his behavior and his law breaking ways.
This is dedicated to that parent: "Lady open your eyes and look at your son, he is not mine. It was not I who had to go and try to get him out of jail. I was not I who was embarrassed when your family found out about him and your failures as a parent. It was not me who had to take off from work to bring him back to school because of his disrespect towards his teachers and his disruptions in class that keep the teacher from teaching and the other students from learning. Oops, I'm sorry to imply that you actually have a job. I do understand that you don't have much time free for parenting with your trips to the "boats" in Vickburg and picking up yours and his "checks."Heavens forbid that you get a job to take you away from parenting your child.
As for all those things that you have said today, that I'm an "Uncle Tom", a racist and how I don't know who I'm messing with, about who you know and what you will do, please do what you think is "right" but please what is right because most of your decisions lately haven't been up to par.
I'd like to warn you though bigger and louder and more influential people have taken their shot at me and I'M STILL STANDING! So let me say with all due respect that you can "kiss me where it don't snow" and have a nice day :).
