Position Deux Jour

My father sent the following response to my "Position Du Jour" (I think I shall call it "Position Deux Jour", which really doesn't make any sense.) 

I thought it was hilarious:
I could have been a k-12 Prevention co-ordinator.  However, I am so old fashioned, I spell coordinator with a dash.  I "red" a sports article recently where the writer (Deseret News) used the word "lead" five times as the past tense of "lead."  I think he has been misled (or is it mislead) about the quirks in English.  Incidentally, my former superintendent made a presentation to the district's entire teaching staff, using the word "misled", twice.  The word was on a large white board.  He pronounced the word "mizzled" both times.  No one seemed to notice.

Position Du Jour

This may be my favorite title for an employee ever:


She works for the Davis School District. Talk about putting yourself out of a job!

Of course, she is actually over a crisis team that tries to prevent suicides.
