I grew up loving, LOVING, Jakie Gleeson and the Honeymooners. I loved them even before I went through my New Age astrology phase, when I found out Jackie Gleeseon and I shared a birthday. Jackie, as Ralph, always had some scheme up his blue-collared shirt sleeve, and I admired that. Sitting at home on a sick day *cough*, I saw a segment of the Today show in which a man hit it rich (well, he got a book deal, which I suppose is like hitting rich) by "writing" a book from the postcards people sent to his blog. Can you smell what the Rock is cooking? His blog was called Post Secret; people send him their post cards with their annonymous deepest, darkest secrets. How cool, right? I know. I see the cathartic ingenuity and drool with envy, but I am shameless, and want to ride this guy's coat-tails to my own book deal. So this thing, OUR thing (any Godfather fans out there?) is my response. I am relying, desperately relying, on the bond between educators everywhere to give your tired, your poor, your huddled masses of refferals yearning breath free on the internet and to give many people a chuckle, too. This thing of ours is also meant to teach other professionals that there is no 8-3 day in our profession, that we do not inhabit a world of child's play, that we deal with some seriously crazy crap.
So, Please send me your annonymous referrals, blacking out all full names, so that I can be rich, or at least get a book deal; I think that's worth 180 recert. points. Anybody? Anybody?
Send referrals or clear copies of referrals to:
Referred c/o Mrs. Jennings

Here is my secret: I have had this idea for years, but I was inspired on a sick day. Thank God for sick days. Thanks also goes to NBC and the Post Secret guy.
I'm waiting . . .
