Clemmie’s Little Moment of Win

funny win story - Clemmie's Little Moment of Win

I'm going through a sudden marriage breakup and told my senior class of history students that because of home life problems their essays had not been marked. I apologised for not keeping up my end when they are always such hardworking students. This morning I turned up at my class to be presented with homemade cupcakes in a box saying 'you're the best teacher ever'. Knowing that my students love and respect me and care enough to reach out to look after me in times of trouble MMD.

funny win story - IMMD: Animal News of the Day

Rescued raptors receive special gifts

Woodland Park Zoo education specialist Janel Kempf and her coworkers got an unexpected treat when they went to the West Seattle Library a few weeks ago. They were there to present the zoo’s Little Critters animal encounter program to a group of children. Before the show started, a four-year-old girl walked up to the presenters and handed them a bundle of gifts.

The girl had been to the zoo’s raptor program at Columbia Library a few weeks earlier, and wanted to do something for the injured birds the zoo had rescued. The gifts included a pair of the girl’s old shoes for the birds who could no longer fly, colorful strips of fabric with which to bandage the birds injuries, and a few of the girl’s drawings so the birds would have something pretty to look at.

Kempf thanked the girl on the birds’ behalf and upon returning to the raptor center, showed the birds the gifts. The shoes now reside next to the indoor space of D1, the zoo’s rescued peregrine falcon.

funny win story - Friendly Neighbor's Little Moment of Win

So I'm just waking up, when my roommate's ex-boyfriend drives up to the balcony. He decides to play it old-school to win her back, so he pulls out a boombox and wants to serenade her like in the movie. But…the song that played was Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give you Up" IMMD, and hers.

California School Superintendent Takes $800,000 Pay Cut Over Next Three Years

Fresno County, Calif. School Superintendent Larry Powell gave himself a sizable pay cut for the remainder of his term: From $250,000 per year, down to $31,020. The move will add $830,000 over the next three years to the school budget, which will be put into a reserve fund and used to save important school programs if mid-year budget cuts occur.

“My wife and I are very well compensated. We’ve been very blessed… I’ve been in this business for 41 and a half years and these are tight budget times in California for public schools,” Powell said. “My wife and I thought, what can we do that might help change the dynamic in my particular area.”

Lady’s Little Moment of Win

Dec. 7, 2010

 

I work with CPS and a lady who I was working with decided to just sign over custody and leave, leaving his aunt to get him off the school bus and tell him he was living with her from now on. I went with the aunt and was expecting tears but he looked up at me and said, “You told me that I will be ok because the good guys win in the end and I am a good guy.” A six year old with more faith in the universe than his crappy mom made my day, and my job.
