I feel like an overcooked noodle

Ever had to translate and type more than 10,000 words in a few hours?

Well, how about: ever had to translate and type more than 10,000 words in a few hours when your employer is going mad (and letting you know it) because her ultimate employer is an Italian government minister who needs it NOW for something international?

It my own stupid fault I was late, too. Which did not make my nevers and exhaustion any better. I hope to God they don't examine closely what I typed, because I was producing a typo every ten seconds.

The ultimate in bad judgment

So a schoolteacher in Britain is hounded by his students with racist jokes and insults and fails to get any support from his headteacher, because he is a Christian. He is scapegoated and got rid of. I am sure that nobody who knows the state this country is in will be either suprised or incredulous.

But here is what gets me. Who does he go to complain?

To the BBC.

Didn't Our Lord say something about being as innocent as doves, but as prudent as snakes? It strikes me that most modern Christians have forgotten the second part.
