It is known; you are not allowed to argue the truth of this statement:  Ghostbusters is the greatest film ever made.  Period, point-blank, there is no discussion allowed on this point.  Even if you can find somewhere where I championed some film other than Ghostbusters as the greatest film of all time, I was wrong and I can go straight to hell with my stupid stupidness.  If Harold Ramis had done nothing else with his entire life other than either write or star in Ghostbusters, the world would be worse for his passing, and he did both.  To say nothing of Animal House, which may be the only film from the seventies that is actually still funny.  He will be missed.

(The second greatest film ever made is Jaws.  This too is known, and not up for debate.  After that we can fight have a reasonable discussion.)

While I’m here:  If I ever again suggest that I might be part of a probation assistance team, you all have permission to kick my ass in the most merciless way you can manage until I come to my senses and find something, anything else to do with my time instead.  My meeting today lasted from 12:30 until 4:30 and was nothing but pure pain for its entire duration.  I’m a union representative; this does not mean that I do not believe that teachers should be able to be fired, it means that I believe there should be rules for dismissing people and that those rules should be clear and fair.

I am verging perilously close to the opinion that perhaps just this once we should forget the rules, because everything about the situation I’m involved in with this teacher is slipping between cracks for one reason or another.  I know I’m vaguebooking, and I apologize, but I can’t be too specific for reasons that are probably obvious.  I do not like anything about this and I would like it to be over now, thank you.

I have two TV shows to watch now, so g’bye.
