O/T Work Rant
Ok, so I've been here a little over seven years and have gotten promoted to network analyst. Granted my skills with cisco switches aren't top notch but I do a lot of higher level IT work and also am mentor for co-workers in my old position PLUS I'm doing a lot of my old work because of chronic staffing shortages. I also train interns and temp help.

Deadline For Registrar To Get Back To Us With SD's Refusal
So thinking of a drop dead date for the registrar to come back with SD's refusal of Chef's request for her attendance status. True to form, SD will just put it off if approached. I'm thinking 30 days. To recap, Chef, per FERPA is entitled to see SD's attendance status due to him claiming SD as a dependent on his taxes last year. So if we don't hear by Nov 4th, it's off to the attorney's office and hopefully, fingers crossed, constructive emancipation for her.
Update: College Attendance Status for SD (stb 19)
Registrar has been contacted and apparently he "lost" the tax papers that were sent to him showing that Chef did indeed claim SD (will be 19 in 4 weeks) on his taxes for 2016. Registrar started spouting about FERPA and SD's "rights to know that her father is inquiring about her status. etc. etc" Meanwhile Chef still shells out massive CS for her and her brother to the Girhippo.
Sounds to me like the Registrar has already put the Girhippo and SD on notice that Chef is inquiring about her attendance status.

One Officially Down, Two to Go...
OSS turns 21 today. NYS is BM-centric so CS goes to 21. Although he emancipated himself accidentally shortly after 19 (moved away from the mothership and the Girhippo hoped we wouldn't find out) it is a relief that officially he can't re-emancipate now as he never seriously went to college (he enrolled just long enough to get the student grants and loans then withdrew)as the CO requires.
Meanwhile the registrar at the community college that SD (stb 19) is supposedly attending has suddenly gone quiet after an official request by Chef for her attendance status...hmmm.

College Attendance Status for SD (stb 19) Request Is IN. . . (Drumroll Please)
This should be good. When last we spoke with the Registrar, he seemed very nice and affable. He, however, was also concerned with the "rights of SD" and that she should know her father is inquiring about her.
Now most likely SD thinks that we don't know about her being enrolled in community college, her failing grades, her derogatory posts against Chef (ghost dad/deadbeat dad) and (not so) subtle video zings of stepdaughters being adopted by their stepdaddies.
School Not Even In Session for a MONTH Yet Here Aaaannnnd. . .
YSS (stb 15) has gotten six unexcused lates--today he sauntered in at 10:01 a.m.!!
And got his first detention last week:
Prince Hygiene started talking inappropriately and was asked to remove his hat and put it in his locker (school rules). He ignored me the first time (no surprise here--the Girhippo raised these skids without any rules).
The second time I asked he put his hat in his book bag.
The third time I asked him to put it in his locker he replied "I can't because I can't see it--it's camoflauge" (sooo droll)
Evidence is Piling Up--Looks More and More As Though SD stb 19 has Dropped Out of Community College. . .
1. Many selfies of SD in mall dressing rooms during the day when she would be attending school
2. Memes eluding to the fact that she "works too much" (possible 30 hour week at a pizzeria)
3. Still no posts about community college, zilch, nada, nothing
4. Invitations to "road trips" from the GIRHIPPO'S ADULT friends being considered
5. Nothing in her status about attending community college
Hmmm.... Waiting until the first week of October to contact the registrar. . .
Case of the Truly Evil SM

This is a local case where the SM fatally punched her SD and then tried to cover it up. Sad.

I Think I Win Today's Award for Whackiest SS!!! Sorry Blog Hog Today
Exploring the school portal and last year's info YSS (stb 15) in the eighth grade received detention for "hitting on a substitute teacher!"
Here is the line he used:
"Do you have wifi because I feel a connection?"
This was last May and we did NOT receive this detention notice for some unknown reason. Of course I keep every piece of paper and file it in case Chef needs it some day. YSS's (aka Prince Hygiene's) detention file is bursting at the seams!
