The PSŽ is currently leading the pack in terms of registered schools—sitting at number 5 out of the 10 total institutions founded by the county.

Plus, there's the endless mountain of grading essays, formative assessments, and all those other paperwork headaches that come with the territory. It feels like every single year, these administrative tasks multiply faster than anything else—honestly, even rats have more discipline when it comes to staying organized than this school system does when it comes to multiplying its own bureaucracy. And hey, why stop there? Let's just have teachers stay through the night shift to handle student counseling, too. That sounds like a brilliant plan, right? Because, clearly, we're all being paid on par with neurosurgeons. ☕

And maybe B2 if anyone actually wants to work... I think the goal here is just to make it look like math teachers in elementary schools are "earning" more than everyone else. It's a way to lure young mathematicians into the Department. But they won't mention the catch—the increased teaching hours and contact time. Where does the rest of the workload go? Realistically, this might bump up some salaries, but it saves the Department money because a whole bunch of people will just end up unemployed... some win, some lose. A smart move... on their part... at our expense.

So, I see people talking about paying extra or not for hemorrhoid surgery at one of our local hospitals? Isn't it pretty clear—if your primary doctor refers you to an abdominal surgeon and they recommend surgery, then if you have insurance and pay your premiums, you shouldn't be facing additional costs for the procedure? What kind of "extra payment" are we even discussing if you're going to a public hospital?

So, I just had a levy hit my account from $367... honestly, I’m speechless. I actually paid the bill within 8 days of getting the notice—I even called Las Vegas directly to let them know it was handled. They told me they’d see the payment and that the whole thing would be stayed. Fast forward 6 months later: bam, they went through with it anyway. What now? I sent over a copy of the receipt today showing it was already settled... any chance I can get my money back?

Alright... figured out how to set the cell format to text...

How do I enter an ID number in Excel so that if it starts with a zero, it doesn't just strip it away? Like, if I type 012587895, it keeps changing it to 12587895.

thanks
