The new now

As I've mentioned before, the Farm Manager still has her day job with the Greywater Board of Ed.

That's the same school board whose top gun was busted in a plagiarism scandal a few years ago and who takes home the same pay as a Brigadier General in the Canadian Forces. Because school boards are on the front line when it comes to defending democracy, I suppose...

The school board has been ruthlessly cutting back on Education Assistants for years now, even while the local college was minting dozens of newly qualified contenders every year. Thanks to union seniority rules, the EA staff now consists of a whole lotta middle-age gals who are prone to the manifold ailments that come with the ageing process.

And now they have access to legal marijuana!

According to the FM, all the EAs talk about around the water cooler is how to grow pot, how to cure pot, and how to turn pot into soothing balms for whatever happens to ail you.


That's the new now.
