    Karen's advace is wonderful.
    I do feel it will be ok and that the people who did this will be found out and punished.
    I would be careful on what I say... ( I know this coming from me ) but you want your boss to be in your corner and not get people mad at you even though you have a right to be upset. Take the high road and tell them "I know you will get to the bottom of this"
    Best wishes.

    Thank you for your kind thoughts and words.

    There is more history than what I communicated. I panicked because I know one of the bosses would love to fire me if only because he didn't get to have who he wanted - someone that couldn't pass the teacher's exam so he cost a 3rd of what I cost. Yes, educators are for more petty and childish that the students we teach.

    Oddly enough, the issue was not approached today. I suspect that some of my students were being silly and did not realize the seriousness of what they had done.

    I will talk more later. I'm exhausted.

    I hate bullcrap, stupid, childish office politics. I wish I was well enough to work, I miss it, but not the junk that goes with it.
    Hope you had a relaxing evening.



    I've been Boooo'd!

    It was games like that, that made me decide to leave the job I had at the school after 21 years. What sickened me to my heart was the school board played the game with the one stirring things up... Proud to say, I was there long enough to see the one who pulled all the stuff and started it all, get what he had coming to him, the school board member that was his close friend turned on him (according to what he said) and he did not get the job he was promised and actually was kind of demoted after doing all their dirty work for them.. The one that replaced me didn't like the old fool and didn't even pretend to be polite to him like I did, not long after I left, he was begging people to talk me into coming back..Ha! and I was one he wanted to get rid of... LOL! What he didn't realize that he was not the only person that knew how to play those games and he got caught in his own games.. Even a caferteria manager could have a few carefully placed tricks up her sleeves, someone he thought was just a dumb blond caferteria female worker.

    They CAN trace that fb account back to the isp address where it was made
    if they want to.. It might just surprise everybody who that leads them to... Good luck and enjoy watching what happens.. (Like I did when it blows up in my guys face...) I'd be screaming FRAUD and looking into pressing charges for fraud against whoever it is and sue, sue, sue for the damage they have done or tried to do to your reputation and all the stress all this brings on you...I'd brag ever so loudly that when this was over, you would have everything they own for fraud and everything else they could be charged with... ISP are TRACEABLE!! FB has that ISP address! (and you better not have a unsecured router or it could lead right back to you!)

    This just happened to me too at the cat shelter where I had worked for seven years. Three others and I got fired a month ago yesterday for no reason that has ever been directly stated to any of us.

    And just as with you folks, it was politics, something I had thought would not be in play in an operation such as this, but boy was it ever.

    Sorry for being away for so long. I've had a case of the grumps and retreated to the quiet of the evening like a hermit.

    I haven't heard a thing from admin since that Friday. I did threaten to sue. I wrote facebook but have not heard from them. I am tempted to hire a lawyer to get the info from facebook. I've heard that facebook does not cooperate with law enforcement.

    Thanks for your kind words and support.

    I would like to hold educators to a higher standard, but sadly most cannot meet that standard.

    Have a great weekend.

    I so hope they find the non-functional lowlifes that did this and they end up in jail where they belong! This techno-crap has gone too far. What is most disturbing is those idiots at FB won't cooperate with law enforcement in finding out who's responsible. Get yourself a good lawyer and hit FB with a subpoena then sue those b.....ds out of existence.
