TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 I talked to the principal's secretary about whether he's angry at Make-a-Wish for denying his 25 percent request, and whether I needed to worry about it in the future. She told me that it was something that he asked all the clubs and that he wasn't sure how to approach it, hence implying that there wasn't an issue. Despite her vagueness, I left the interaction feeling more hopeful. I then talked to my club advisor. Turns out the secretary straight-up lied to me about him asking all the clubs; it was only Make-a-Wish. Since our rebuttal of him, he has now moved on to trying to gouge College Club out of their grant money, something which I assume is highly illegal. Now, time for the icing on this repulsive cupcake. The man is upset at Make-a-Wish and denying our fundraisers, right? Well, everything's dandy when he realizes that our status as the most successful club in our county is good press. Admin has now asked us to write a press release to a local newspaper detailing how we have raised an unprecedented amount, more than the next 3 clubs combined, bla bla bla... Has he approved the restaurant fundraisers now? No. If this behavior spills into next year, I'm seriously considering a press leak. Contact Make-A-Wish immediately. Spend the summer coming up with a course of action and a workable strategy. Make sure the foundation knows everything that's happened so far, every sordid detail, and get cracking on your response as soon as you possibly can. This is wrong and illegal, and if you need a press leak to get this to stop, it'll be better if you leak the story while it's still relatively recent. Do not, under any circumstances, wait until the next school year, because I can guarantee you this behavior will absolutely continue until this principal is forced to stop, either by scandal, by law, or by both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oversleep Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Why wait? I mean, unless all the clubs deny him, the situation probably won't get better.

Oversleep Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Is the double posting because so many people are posting at the moment?

Orlion Blight he/him Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I just sent an email to our liaison at the Foundation. Since you're all emotionally invested now, I'll keep you posted. Good! I wouldn't do anything else until you hear back from them. No press leaks, no good article about your successes, nothing until you get their say.

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) Buffy: "I don't feel we're getting off on quite the right foot." Huh, what makes you say that? Was it the fact Buffy's previous Watcher was fired for caring about his charge enough to have second thoughts about draining her of her powers and locking her in with a psycho vampire? Or the fact that you spent your first five minutes with the Slayer engaged in dry pretentious droning to enjoy the sound of your own voice? Or maybe the fact that you never proved you aren't evil? I'm just as mystified over this as you are, New Watcher. Edit: GREAT NOODLY ONE, NEW WATCHER, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TAKE THE PLUNGER OUT OF THE TOILET BOWL BEFORE YOU SIT DOWN! Edit: Um, but maybe robbing a sporting goods store isn't the best way to prove you're better off without a pretentious academic breathing down your neck?

A Joe in the Bush Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I've never seen Buffy, so everything I know about the show comes from Twi's reactions, and whatever is currently happening sounds hilarious, even if the second spoiler is only a metaphor.

OTC painkiller of your choice and a hot bath with epsom salts. Also, start taking stretch breaks during the day; it helps! I'm with Chaos. I want to see this guy taken down. Can it be with a bazooka? I like bazookas. Yeah, that happened to me. I dunno. That happens to me whenever someone has ninja'd me on a post. Oh, also, that little pop-up that says, "Click here to load new posts?" Yeah, that never works. Buffy: "I don't feel we're getting off on quite the right foot." Huh, what makes you say that?

Sunbird she/her Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 For me, its a song about an actual cannibal. Immediately made me think of Julian Smith's song , which I listen to regularly on my headphones and have a very hard time resisting the urge to belt it out when I'm in public. OK, I just had a conversation with two coworkers and learned that neither of them have ever heard of Depeche Mode. I AM SO OLD I AM GONNA CRY NOW I'm 21 and like several of Depeche Mode's songs. Have I restored your faith in humanity? Ahh, I see Wesley has arrived! XD I love Wesley! He starts out pompous, pretentious, and annoying, but he undergoes significant character growth as the show goes on. But he never stops being funny.

Yours was also highly entertaining! I Googled the song and was pleased as punch to discover that the guy who wrote it is also the guy who wrote "Still Alive" from the Portal end credits. Love that song! (Weird fact, though: the first time I ever heard it was while playing Rock Band 2; it's one of the downloadable songs.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if you can get them to straight out give a reason for why he's not allowing it. That way, you can rebut whatever the argument is, and try to get him to change his mind. Plus, even if he still refuses, you'll know what his argument is for his side to counteract it should it get to a stage where it goes to the news.
