The Manda Considers Career Alternatives

A story broke today about a teacher in a town on the South Shore who was forced to resign because she indicated reluctance to return to school and made some less than kind remarks about the residents of the town that employs her in her Facebook status.

I'm going to leave the commentary about the rights and wrongs of this situation to someone else, because that's kind of beyond the scope of my interest. But K-Rock and I were talking about it a little, and she suggested that, short of the offical taste tester for Ben and Jerry's, everyone kvetches about their jobs at some point.

But I bet the official taste tester has some complaints:

"Caramel... fudge... marshmallow bits... pretzel chunks... Snicker bar pieces... Hey! Where's the fucking ice cream?!"

"Oh, I just long for some soft serve vanilla."

"My pants don't fit. Again."

"It's never comfortable having to wear a parka to work, even in July."

"The dental plan here is somewhat inadequate for my needs."

"Oof! Brain Freeze!"
